Tim McMahon, aka Chicken Man, encourages Vail Valley residents to seek help if they are struggling.

Tim McMahon, of Avon, is known as Chicken Man. He dons a chicken suit and sometimes ruffles feathers with his protests. He also tries to save lives by raising awareness of the high suicide risk in The High Country-- especially at the end of ski season. McMahon spoke with Ryan Warner about his own journey.
