Okay, so I obviously don't know if I've got pullets or cockerels yet. My chicks are only 3 weeks old. But I'm getting impatient on naming them because I don't like calling them "they" or "the chicks" or any other number of things that aren't actual names.

So for now, I've got a Gilbert (d'Uccle, self blue or possibly porcelain), Anne (cochin, I think red), Shirley (OEGB, unknown color for me right now), and Rilla (Golden Sebright). If it isn't obvious, Anne of Green Gables is one of my all-time favorite book series.

If I have to adjust later as genders become more apparent, so be it. Also, if anyone sees any potential breed/color errors or anything else I've got wrong, please tell me! I'm very new and I'm happy to learn from y'all!

Cute names!
Gilbert is a porcelain d’uccle.
Thank you so much!! One of these days I plan to have Golden Girls, but I need 4 to be girls at the same time, lol.

And thank you again. I initially thought porcelain, then I questioned myself. Then someone on here said they thought self blue because they weren't seeing the warmer tones to indicate porcelain. So I was back at square one, ha.
