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!
