Thread Starter 

Loved the rain we got this week! Planted some peas in some buckets last Monday. I need to process some more chickens so that I can take back the garden area and get the rest of my buckets ready. I also need to get some some seeds started indoors. Ack, and I need to prune my grapes, almonds, pomegranates, chaste tree, bird of paradise and honeysuckle vine. I promised myself to stay on top of these things this year. Here's a question...when do you dust for mites and de-worm your chickens? I'm getting around 8 eggs daily now and need to get this done before they all start laying.

Hi There.  I'm from Tonopah, NV.   Approx. 1/2 way between Vegas and Reno.  We're looking to add a few started pullets to our flock of 17 and would rather get them "local" than have them fly in on a plane.   Can anyone direct me to where I might get these in Nevada?   Thanks!

So I was a bit sad I was unable to pick up our new pullets Sunday, and then I awoke to find this little treasure Monday morning.....

 

Our first egg!

 

And in the nest right off the bat...

 

Compared to store bought XL

 

 

Our little girl's a woman...sniff..sniff

 

I too need to get my seeds started this week. I'm going to add two or three new raised beds this spring, I cant wait!
