How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[HnM]

We're getting some rescue girls in a few weeks and I have decided to give them 'affirming' names so that they think they're beautiful and glamorous. So they're going to be: Beyonce, Shakira and Keisha (Sugababes). Apparently this is bonkers .

Does anyone want to contend for the "most bonkers name for a chicken" position?

[Guest]

well, if you're going for glamour then I'd have; Audrey (Hepburn), Grace (Kelly) and Merle (Oberon).

 

If you want eccentric, how about something from good old Shak; Thisbe, Titania and Desdemona

[Happybunny]

Yup,

 

I'll go for it: my hens are Kazoo, Not-Kazoo and Flinty Snake-Melon-Cloth.

[Couperwife]

Yup,

 

I'll go for it: my hens are Kazoo, Not-Kazoo and Flinty Snake-Melon-Cloth.

Quite an interesting image too, picturing someone at the garden door, shouting those names to call the chooks for a treat

I think Revnev wins this.

He has had a Trillian,a Marvin the Paranoid Chicken, a Windle Poom a Mrs Miggins & wonderfully, a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Trarl

I thought mine were strange - but can't beat those names!

Kazoo sounds like someone playing the zoo (she's a buff Pekin), Not-Kazoo looks almost identical to Kazoo but isn't her (hence the name) and Flinty got her name from a hilarious set of instructions we had that had clearly been badly mistranslated from chinese:

 

"Please do not use the metal steel brush, the steel wire clean ball flinty snake melon cloth and strong corrosive solvent clean."

 

Melissa, by the way, is a cockerel.

makes perfect sense

[HnM]

Thanks, all, for your revealing comments!

The interesting thing is that no-one (NO-ONE!!) has said that it is bonkers to give your chickens 'affirming names'.

 

I'm trying to decide between Bugblatter and Flinty for most eccentric name, so far!

[Hen Watch]

I have decided to give them 'affirming' names

 

What ......you mean you are not going to call one Henny ??????

 

I had a long list of great names and I still got a "Henny", the children insisted

Wait till you take them the vet!

 

Love those sugarbabes names. Eglutine has names from Strictly come dancing.

[Lydia]

Wait till you take them the vet!

 

Exactly! We've never quite got over the embarrassment of the vet shouting "Pong?" in a crowded waiting room.......

 

My hubby wanted to call one of our ex-batts "Bad Feet" initially but I vetoed him - she ended up as Hatpin.

[Cooks]

just had me sitting here eating my toast laughing myself silly... especially at melissa being a cockerell..

 

My friend has said that if I get another hen.. and thats if not when I am to name her Jen the hen.. as friend is called Jenny... so thats rather sensible.. not at all bonkers..

Not entering the competition, but we once had a hamster, who due to being bought at Christmas, went under the name of Figgy Pudding.

 

That's not so strange, but my DD, following in the footsteps of R&B stars, changed it firstly to "F Pidding" and then "F Pu"

 

We now have a rabbit who gets cards through the post from a friend, addressed to "Mr. Azzie Aslan". He's also affectionately known as "the Smoochy Moomin"
