    I found this.... "February 27, 2010, 7 p.m. - WCSD Honor Orchestra Concert at North Valleys HS theater (ticketed)" "Other ticketed concerts may be purchased from the music department. The cost is $5." From Washoe County School District’s Employee Newsletter • Volume 10, Issue 3 • November 1, 2009

    Quote: I am in Reno, and yes there are worms, hundreds in my garden area. Several years ago there were not many but I built some raised beds and started "lasagne gardening" in them whereby layering with browns and greens etc. Within a short time the worms appeared to do their magic on...

    No Egg Song?

    I'm no expert but thought I would post since I have two that started laying, one 11/15 and one on 11/25. Mine are like yours, no egg song, fidgety, pacing and a bit noisey just prior to getting in the nest box. I can hear a bit of vocals at times when in the nest but it is soft spoken. Once...

    Nevadans?

    Quote: At 18 degrees this morning, I don't know, but I would be concerned. Another option for you might be looking into an ad I saw on Craigslist the other day. There is a guy in Truckee with an incubator and access to fertile eggs offering to hatch for free. Don't know if I am supposed to...

    Observed near-laying behaviour

    Well darn, nothing today, but, not surprising. Yesterday we installed a low wattage heatlamp, infrared 50 watts, thinking it would heat things so the water would not freeze. Bad idea. Being the new mother hen and all, I checked on the girls at 2:00 am to make sure all was well cuz I woke up...

    Observed near-laying behaviour

    Today, I let my 2 pullets (flock) out to free range. I noticed that they were not glued at the hip as usual. My RIW kept wandering off, into junipers, other bushes as if trying to nest. I put her in the small coop into a nestbox....she stayed for maybe 30 seconds. Hubby was working on our...
