It seems that those eggs that the doxy Roxy stole last week (it seems more like years, does it not?), WERE actually those of a Roc female, who had been banished by her brethren for taking up with Rooster Cockburn!
Yes, our indomitable, shy and sweet, not able to mate with the chooks Rooster Cockburn actually had set his sights on larger game!
The blushing mother is a formidable female of her type with shining golden feathers and red gimlet eyes. Fierce she looks, but sweet she acts when her man struts by crowing to all to come and look at his offspring. For they are truly wondrous!
Right now each of the babes are bigger than their sire...all golden fluff and red-eyed desire for sustenance! Boy can they eat!! We have had to decimate the rest of the Lady's Clydesdale herd to feed the brood.
So what do you think? And what shall their names be?

My Lady, I shall take your wilful blindness as unintentional and tell you again that those eggs have nothing to do with a dragon. A "Roc" is a fearsome winged bird that comes close in size to the smallest dragon...no where near my magnificence. Maybe this link will help...

Xena...you have hit on just the thing! Roc stars....but now which ones do we choose to name our we chicks after?
That jittery one with the huge beak just has to called Mick Jagged.
And the wee bitty girl looking so sad because there are no feathers forming on her head MUST BE Sinead O'Conroc!
But the others are not so obvious, so help me decide....two boys and two girls (although that one girl is set fair to be just as large and formidable looking as her mother!).
