I am in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Just got the chicks and the neighbors don't know yet here either. There's only two little hens, so they really won't make much noise. They are still in the house at night in an aquarium, and in a cage outside during the day if it's nice Will be turning a small tool shed into a chicken house. Might take the girl off the farm, but not the farm out of the girl. Hahaha! D.
