Red--That is part of the fun---comparing chick pics to mama hen pics isn't it? AND waiting for that first egg 
She sure is cute.....and sounds like a good personality to boot. Oh yes the dear Cache Valley, snows here clear into April/May. Does not stick around long after end of Feb. Last three weeks we have had three snow storms, wake up to a few inches of white, but it usually melts throughout the daytime by this time of year. and leaves a.mushy.mess. I shoveled off the coop roof this morning because as the snow melts it drips straight down in front of their gate, underneath the letters, which is where we stand to get eggs, and we are sinking in it right there. We are going to put a rock or mulch border around the whole deal for next year, it is getting too muddy/messy and the grass is pretty trashed. On the West side there are marshes everywhere, cat tails growing....lots of mosquitos. Pretty----but wet. Last year we had water under our house all winter in the crawlspace, but last year was worse than usual. It is finally dried out, hoping it stays that way, it is way too much work to get the water out of there! And it makes me worry about the house settling. So far so good. 
Cynthia, I went back through--did you post a pic of your Andalusian? Would love to her see her Glad to hear you are getting all your chicks sold. And you are getting more haha!
Never tried the golf ball trick. Sounds like a good idea! Maybe that would get my girls out of the one nest they all share, I have seen three piled in there at the same time. Chickens smart? Hmmm....
