The next day everybody tried to think up a name for the baby. Jeffery Hen, Roo and Bear were already in the hen house when a few more hens entered it, wanting to help out with naming the baby. They sat around the nest and watched closely to see what would make a good name for it. As they were watching it eat they noticed that the chick was stirring up the feed around it like it was drawing some kind of picture.
Jeffery Hen said, "It looks like it's trying to draw a little bowl or nest with its food."
Roo said, "She'll grow up and be an artist."
Patricia Hen said, "Looks to me like she's tracing something from underneath the food."
Everybody in the house yelled, "TRACI!"
Roo said, "Traci?"
Jeffery Hen said, "Yes, Traci!"
Roo said, "Traci it is!"
Jeffery Hen said, "I want to give her a middle name like Miranda so I can say I named it after you Roo."
Roo said, "That's fine with me."
Jeffery Hen said, "Since Miranda is somewhat spelled like Panda, we'll nickname her Panda."
Patricia Hen said, "Traci Miranda that's a pretty name." All of the other hens agreed with her. When they all left the hen house they told everybody what the baby's name was.
When the baby got finished eating, it want to start playing around the nest. It started to remove the straw in the nest from one place to another. It sure was making a big mess of everything in the nest.
