Diana and Jim got a half a dozen of the famous Elvira eggs in last week’s Namegiving Party.

The eggs were an award for suggesting names for our chickens. Diana and Jim suggested the name Chiquita, which we chose to be as a name for the smaller yellow chicken.

Diana reports that the Elvira eggs were delicious – actually, the best ones she has ever eaten. She made a potato tortilla out of the eggs. Gourmet eggs, that’s what Elvira’s eggs are.

The new punk spirited chicken

We got a new chicken. She came from Animal Care and Control, an animal rescue shelter in San Francisco. She had been wondering at the streets downtown, and some nice policemen saved her and gave her a ride to the shelter.

She moved in with us yesterday, just before I went to try out the new restaurant at 18th and Guerrero, Ebb&Flow. She seems to be a bit sad, and is picking and the three baby chickens we have.

Oh, I hope this is not end up to a huge drama. However, this chicken looks super weird: she is a Polish Silky chicken, I was told.
