Our's is from our Dog Kennel name Xtremebulldogs. We raise American Bulldogs, and Staffordshire Bull Terriers that we show, breed, work and are just the biggest part of our lives. So I just decided our nickname would go along with the dogs and be Xtremechickens
I only have had two nicknames ever and this is one of them. AK is for Alaska and Tomboy because I am a hunting, fishing, camping, horse riding, 4 wheeling, engine building, country loving ranch owning tomboy.
and I thought I was the last of the original fruit-loops when it came to names! OH BOY I feel as if I've come right home here!
My screen name of Saladman dates back to when I was working for a Hydro-ponic Lettuce company and travelling around our region's food providers selling gourmet salads and Herbs. The title just sort of stuck with me, because my given handle (Chris) is just SO darned hard for us Kiwis' to get our heads around!
My bride , (Supreme Commander) and I have been married almost 45 years,
we have 4 fantastic kids (girl, boy, girl, boy)
3 of whom are married and have produced
Grand-kids
(nine, and more in the planning department) youngest son is still looking around for HIS S.C. My bride and I live in rural heaven. We own a Hobby Farm of five and a half acres. We grow and export Kiwi-fruit there. Plus I have a small manufacturing business which I run from my home workshop.
(I know, "don't sound much like a hobby"! and you are right!
) We are both active in our local Church (Catholic)
and are very keen supporters and promoters of our nearest town's Farmers Market.
We have lots of critters around us at home ( Kia Orana Gardens)
I live in Montana, and my grandkids call me Mi Mi. And I wanted something that I could use exclusively with my chicken related business, but would give a safe feeling, since people are dealing with a total stranger.
Some names would have been too anonymous for people to feel comfortable.
