Hey-O! From Utah. Chicken first timer.

I'd be okay with that. The problem is that I still live at home and my parents have made it abundantly clear that they are not getting into the chicken business.

Welcome from one new member to another. Don't live to far from you (in Sandy). We used to have the problem of getting all of our critters in twos (horses, dogs, cats, rabbits) then we jumped in with eight chicks. Love skiing the Wasatch too (as you can tell by my user name). Maybe I'll see you on the slopes next year.

Yeah, Alta is bomb. Probably my favorite is Park City. I'm a bit of a park rat and PC has sweet parks.

What kind of chicks did you get?

Forgive my spelling - but we have a Camphine (Wheezy) most high strung chicken ever, Buff Orphington (Cashew), Silver Laced Wyandotte (Lucy), Golden Laced Wyandotte (Hazel), two Ameracunas (Estelle and Buff) which are two of the goofiest little things, and two Dominiques that we lovingly refer to as Thing 1 and Thing 2 (real names Etta and Amelia). They are about nine week old pullets and I don't know what I did without them - love them all to pieces. Keep telling them how lucky they are, because they are already family members.

I'm trying to imagine what the most high strung chicken ever looks like.

Howdy.

I grew up on the south side of Utah Lake.

Wish I could have raised my kids there.

She's been like that since she still had her egg tooth. She would get up on the feeder and run around it in circles stomping on everybody's head. I wanted to call her BeepBeep after the Roadrunner. I'm reminded of a Nirvana song "just because your paranoid, don't mean they're not after you". Because when we look at her she starts freaking out and running around just because she doesn't want to be caught (and we usually are trying to catch her). It's just her personality and she's fine when she's caught. Needless to say she's a very endearing bird and I love her to pieces.
