The Chicken without a Name........

[Sheila]

Yes, this is the chicken that Joe adopted or lifted while at the meeting with Christine, Maryann and Steph in San Diego....but the chicken needs a name...We have TipToe, Tex.....now heres my suggestion:

About the chicken's name...why does the name Chicken Sh*t come to mind? Must be a midwest thing!!!! It seems appropriate...its where we all are , have been or will be in this disease, the tests, scans, chemos etc.....

Did you get my e-mail?

Yes Pink Girl...Jack is my neighbor, although I don't know Jack

Up here in the Pacific Northwest when we use the term, "chicken s*it," it means that someone is a total wimp, scaredy-cat, and all around party pooper, wet blanket - among other things.

Does not have a meaning of fighting in any sense - just someone who runs the other way.

Seems like we could find something other than the "Cheech and Chong" route.

Sure we all feel that way at times, but is this a good atmosphere to stick on Tiptoe and Tex??

How about Henrietta or Henney or Attila the Hen.

This probably won't help a lot...but...I googled chicken and chick. Here are some words that came up:

cluck (clucker)
strut
birdchick
chickbird
chick chick

None of those are great. Mostly "chicken" brought up references to ways to cook and eat chickens (not a positive thing to let a chicken know about).

I wish there was a nice word for "not chicken".

Outside of that I kind of like Henrietta.

I have another idea. Instead of Attila the Hen, she could be Tilly the Hen. Then the trio would be Tip, Tex and Tilly.

Has anyone turned the Chicken over and looked at its bottom?
Maybe it already has a name like Tiptoe had ...

I wonder what breed of chicken it is? Perhaps a Buttercup?

Buttercup is a nice name...
