Names for the Baby Chicks


The kids are so excited for the arrival of the chicks. We just set up the brooder - our old kiddie pool, with a heat lamp, and some shavings. It's like Christmas Eve at our house.

So what are the kids most looking forward to? Naming the chicks of course.
Charlotte and Flynn's top name picks are Google, Bobby, Andrew, Cluck, Cutie, Peeper, Pecker*, and Pauline (after our favorite fowl themed book My Life as a Chicken).

Of course, we won't be able to tell the baby chicks apart for a while, so naming will have to wait, but it's fun to be creative!


*Originally, I thought about naming my blog Peterson's Peckers, but that just seemed wrong...
