[edit]

From google maps, Lady Alice Island (in the middle of the chicks) is at: -35.890281,174.734445 Taranga Island (Hen) is at: -35.962127,174.719839. I don't know how to add it to the Article however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.33.111.74 (talk) 21:25, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Māori names

[edit]

The islands have two sets of Māori names, one being those of Taranga and her sons:

Taranga: (The Hen)

Māui Mua: Motu Muka

Māui Pae: Huarewa

Māui Roto: Whatupuke

Māui Taha: Motu Wairaka and Tawatawa

Māui-Tikitiki-a-Taranga: Araara

Does anyone know why, or which set has priority? --Hugh7 (talk) 23:59, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Plural chickens?

[edit]

Is the formal name of the group really "Hen and Chicken Islands", with the chicken in the singular? Is it not the "Hen and Chickens Islands"? Richard New Forest (talk) 11:15, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
