You are going to love your new girls. They are great stress relief at the end of a day. I also think you have got a cute group.

Names: My friend has 4 chickens with the best chicken names ever; General Grant, Ophelia, Esmerelda, and Othello. Haha. All hens too! I always thought long fancy names were fun for chickens

Hello and Welcome! Your chicks are adorable! For names - how about the spice girls: "Ginger -Pepper- Vanilla-Nutmeg"?

I am currently hatching my first bunch of chicks. How do you know if they are hens or roosters once they hatch?

I Visited U-tube, and there was a few videos of Mike Rowe "the worst jobs guy)" and there is a way to sex your chicks by their wings within the first 2 days. They say it works, do not really know, but worth watching.
