Need names for hens...

Hello
We are collecting 4 hens next week and want funny names for them. So far we have
Mother Clucker and Atilla the Hen
Any ideas?

That's a very naughty post Kaye this being a family site, Atilla the Hun isn't very popular round here!

Awww.....chill out man!

We've got a Tikka (as in "if she doesn't start laying soon, she's going to be ...")

We've also got Bob (illogical, I know, genderwise, but we inherited her off a friend who died, so she's named after him), Wee Bob (Bob's daughter), Miss Sussex (because she's a Light Sussex), Baldrick (demonstrated exceptional stupidity when we first got her, by trying to climb through every identical square of a wire fence in turn), Betty (bossy hen, named after my equally bossy aunt), Skinny Leghorn (descriptive term to distinguish her from Normal Leghorn,  but it stuck as a name), and Maggie (a Magpie).

Our cockerel is Georgy-Porgy (because he used to kiss the girls and make them cry, in a manner of speaking), but he's turned out to be such a randy little so-and-so, I think he should really be called Quagmire (Family Guy fans will get it): he even lurks next to the nests of the hens while they're laying, waiting for them to lay the egg!

Our original hens were called after celestial bodies, Loona, Galaxy, Venus, Star and sons choice, that one beginning with U  

Two, including sons thank goodness, were boys and were re-homed.

The ones we have now earned their names, Tallulah, Star, George, Ruby and Tinker.

The Sablepoots hens are all Josephine and the 2 young cockerel poot we were looking after  we called Napoleon, self explanatory really  

Have you thought of non-names like, lame- as in gold lame (can't do accents on pc)? Golden wonder= Crisp?
or the Golden Shot: how about Bernie (the Bolt)?

Glad you've got new hens coming.  Wish we could have a few more.....

Mine don't have names.

I have enjoyed reading this thread! Thank you all!
Our hens arrived on Friday and we instantly knew which one to call Attila the hen! Mother Plucker was a little slower being named but it seems to fit!
Our 5 year old daughter named hers Judy! And my 3 month old made a sound when she saw the hens...Eggu! Eggu seems to like her name!
Our hens are not friendly yet, they are ex battery hens but I hope in time Attila might not suit her name
