Name the Chickens
Win a pullet-zer prize!
Powell River Living would like your help in naming our four laying hens.
Publisher Isabelle Southcott recently learned that she will participate in the City of Powell River's pilot project for Hens in the 'hood, a trial that will allow up to four laying hens on a property within city limits.
Isabelle, who lives in the Townsite, is excited about this opportunity. She enjoyed having chickens in her backyard in the past and looks forward to having them again.
"I love listening to them clucking softly and look forward to being able to collect eggs again."
The chickens will live in Cluckingham Palace, and their coop will be located on Maple Avenue.
These four laying hens will need names and that's where you come in.
"I'd like to involve the community in this project," says Isabelle, "and I thought a contest to name the chickens would be a lovely way for children and adults to get involved."
We need four names for our pullets. Won't you help us? Four prizes of $25 each will be awarded to those who submit the winning names.
To name a chicken simply email isabelle@prliving.ca with your suggestion. The deadline for name submissions is September 20, 2010.
Look in the October issue of Powell River Living for the winning names and their nominators.
