May 4 Chicken Owner

[Scared of Chickens]

Hi! We're new chicken owners since May 4. We have ten chickens, 5 Rhode Island Red and 5 White Plymouth Rock. They were born April 31, and we got them May 4. They are all hens hopefully, (We live in the city,) and their names are: Hyacinth, Penelope, Michelle, Janes, Violet, Minnie Sue, Princess Jasmine Tinker Bell, Princess Jasmine, Peeps, and Hagias.
