My thoughts...
1. Bingo...cockerel
2. Bango...cockerel
3. Bongo...cockerel
4. Snap... maybe a pullet not sure
5. Crackle...cockerel
6. Pop...looks like a cockerel, too!

Geez...they all look more like cockerels to me than pullets!

Thanks! we were also thinking similar...although I am undecided on Bingo...maybe just wishful thinking
