The "USU-Basics for Raising Backyard Chickens" link is pretty straight forward. There is a lot of good information on the internet from enthusiasts who love them as pets and for their eggs. Searching under "Backyard Chickens" or "Urban Chickens" is a good start. www.backyardhickens.com is a friendly community with lots of people, pictures and good advice from others who have gone through it. Enjoy the education! I purchased a book from Amazon a couple years back, "The Joy of Keeping Chickens: The Ultimate Guide to Raising Poultry for Fun or Profit". It is a nice book with gorgeous photos.Nathan E.

If you keep that in mind and do what you can to keep the wind and moisture off them, they're pretty darn happy. http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html is a resource that has a column with hardiness to give you an idea when you are looking. Utah gets quite hot in the summer, that is also a consideration.Nathan E.
