4m x 3m Omlet pen, cube, new auto door still boxed and coop light

[Mrs Slats]

Slats and I picked up our 4 ex batts on Saturday and all are settling in nicely... if a little wobbly going dow the ladder.

We have named 3, Doris, Dixie and our real oven ready is of course called Paxo.

 

But we are in dire need of inpiration for our bossy madame. She is already making herself known as top hen. Whatever any of the others are doing she chases them off it... I am sure they have even taken to jumping in the sand box to disctract her away from the grub!!!

 

So any suggestion for names for Miss Bossy boots?

[Rhapsody]

Mrs Thatcher....

[BarbaraJ]

Margo

 

Doris

[Gallina]

Boadicea (or Boudicca if you prefer that spelling)

Livia (most powerful woman in early Roman Empire)

Lucretia (Borgia)

Penthesilea (Queen of the Amazons)

Margaret (but you'll have to get her a handbag)

Betty (Boothroyd)

 

Out of that lot, I like Livia best: it suits an evil hen. But see what everyone else comes up with.

[Abbey Road Girl]

Actually, my first thought was......Miss Bossyboots!

 

Ethyl (Merman)?

 

Sophie (Tucker) "last of the red-hot mamas"?

 

Or something ironic like Greta ("I vant to be alone") Garbo...

[landgirl]

On an alliterative theme...

 

Doris, Dixie, Paxo and...

 

... Pushy ?!

[Egluntyne]

My bossy madam is called Atilla the Hen.

[craftyhunnypie]

I would just call her Matron!!!

[Ms Tilytinkle]

Yup i was going to suggest 'Matron' too . ..

 

oooh trying to think of another suggestion . . Queen C., as opposed to Queen Bee

oh dear difficult isnt it .. doesn't she look like a particular name .. . wasnt their a bossy lady on a tv programme....can't remember what it was but she had a great name . . . Nora Batty or more apt .. Nora Beaky

 

good Luck i'm sure you'll find some name which suits soon

The mention of Matron made me think of Hattie Jacques. Hattie would be quite a nice hen name.

[Cooks]

going with the mostly 'D' theme how about Dominatrix (cant spell!) I errm hear they are very bossy....

[superjules]

Our Bossy hen was very thoughtfully named, er... Bossy, by the kids!! I thought Duchess good but got overruled!

 

Love Matron - although you'd have to say it in that Kenneth Williams way!

[surferdog]

Our bossy boots is called Hyacinth Bucket. She even walks like her...

 

What about Lauren after Catherine Tate's stroppy teenager or Vicky Pollard? Ooh or Mrs T after the iron lady/mad old bat* (*delete according to politics) herself.

[Mrs Slats]

Fantastic! I love them all.

 

Margaret was toyed with yesterday, but my Aunt has the same name.

 

Also toyed with naming her after my mother in law!

[Guest]

Gladys! (from hi de hi)

[kiwichick]

Mrs Slocum (sp?)

Dolores (Umbridge)

[Valkyrie]

Bibi - (BB for Bossy Boots). Apparently it means "Lady"

[Mrs Slats]

Thanks Everyone! Some fabulous suggestions.

 

After much staring at said hen we decided she looked most like a Hattie! So big thank you to Gallina!

[MedusA]

Glad she's got a name now, and Hattie is a great suggestion!
