This will probably be our real profile here from this point onward. We are in Las Vegas and started on our chicken journey in March of this year. We have been avid readers of BYC for a while but only just realized there was a separate forum just for us Nevadans. We've recently been scouring the pages here looking for help with a sick chicken. We've got our fingers crossed she's going to make it and have done just about everything (short of a vet visit) to help her out. We also find ourselves with a rooster and are having quite a time trying to figure out what to do with him. It's pretty clear that not many want another roo! We're not opposed to getting rid of him in "other" ways, but have no idea how to find someone in town that has the facilties to assist with that (city ordinaces/zoning don't allow us to slaughter on our property!). Any suggestions??? I'm pretty new to forums in general so be patient with me...

& to the Nevada forum!

First icon - the typo. Second icon - what I was actually thinking before you posted. Third icon - we love new people. Fourth icon - Welcome!

It's all good. When I first saw the name I thought perhaps it was a joke so I didn't dare acknowledge because I love to put my foot in my mouth all of the time.

This is the whole state thread and there is also a Las Vegas thread where you can post in there too.

What's going on with your little chicken?

What types of chickens do you have and how many?

The Nevada thread is a very friendly thread and the people are so nice. I'm in California and still visit here.

What's going on with your bird?


OK Makayla let me know some of my birds were out. I caught the pullets, but my Sumatra roo is no where to be seen. I was just going to take pics of him and his looooong tail! OMG I hope he comes back looking for his girls and hasn't been caught by the neighborhood "Chicken Killers!"

I finally got the big coop cleanout done this afternoon. yesterday with the rain coming and going, I just couldn't get out there much. anyway, i'm so happy to have the coop nice and clean. it was a big job. a bit overdue. i also put up some chicken wire at the top of the divider to keep the medium size pullets from roosting up there. they do that and then jump down in the morning and end up with the little chicks. no one has gotten hurt but I will feel more comfortable with them completely separate.

tomorrow I hope to get a poop board installed. i am going to recycle the bottom part of our old cribs ( the flat part where the mattress sits). it's illegal to sell most old cribs now with new regulations so this is a good way to put some of them to use. the poop boards will give me some more space in the coop since I can put the food and water under the roosts now. we'll see how it goes tomorrow. I'm pretty beat after today!



I said "Lociento, me Espanol es mal". I thought I should have said malo? IDK spanish speakers are so polite even when you are butchering the language. It's hard to get a better grasp on some things.
Ok, you were right. in this case it should have been "malo" " Lo siento mi espanol es malo." Hope you are having a nice weekend!

LOL in my 20s I worked as warehouse supervisor for a few companies, and most of the employees under me were Mexican/Guatemalan/Salvadoran. I got so used to speaking Spanish that one day I went to pick up an order from Tacos Del Rey for my crew, and as I walked out I realized I hadn't spoken a word of English during the whole order. After that, I started working armed security at the El Rancho flea market, and the Spanish came in handy. Then my security partner told me that I spoke it like Peggy Hill on the cartoon King of the Hill, and I got really self-conscious. Since then, I haven't spoken more than a sentence of Spanish, except to speak to my husband about something we don't want the kids to understand. "Quieres helado despues iglesia?" (Want ice cream after church?) But he knows so many languages that he'll start throwing in Portuguese with his Spanish, and it cracks me up. Like I'm one to talk... I only know 1.5 languages.

We didn't get much done so far, due to the weather. I managed to walk down to the food co-op for their seedling sale, expecting to not find anything I needed. I walked away with 6 plants, and Sahara got 4! I got an ananas noir tomato, to round out my rainbow of fruit, two cucumbers I didn't have, a thai and a purple ruffles basil, and some kind of canteloupe-type melon that grows in a long spaghetti-squash shape. It sounded interesting. Then I went home and took a nap... then did the minimal animal upkeep and made a quick cheese recipe that's somewhere between fresh cheddar curds and queso fresco. Anyway, it's mild and crumbly, and would be great on top of a lasagne or enchiladas.

Tomorrow, I hope I have a huge burst of energy!

I want to get in the bean pavilion, and carry a barrel of compost over to Garden #2 so I can start working the soil to plant in a couple of days, get Garden #3 completely planted, and butcher 2 rabbits. My husband wants to take the rabbit meat to his Boy Scout camp on Friday.

Anyone else? Any big weekend plans?
I think that person shouldn't have said that to you (re: Peggy Hill). You should just speak away as best you can and not worry about it.

Hope you have enough energy to get things done. Those plants sound cool.

Glad you found the nevada thread. good luck with your sick chicken. the roo slaughter shouldn't take very long, so you might be okay doing it on your property.

Plus it sounds kinda dirty. cuck I mean seriously someone should bleep that!

Anyways we have a roo that we don't want so if anyone wants it let me know email is best [email protected]
our sick chicken is a hen she was very lively and curious before she got sick now she is lethargic not opening her eyes etc....

Ive tried sulmet and triptacycaline (yea that's not how that's spelled) neither improved her. Now I'm thinking worms since she roams the backyard.
so when Jones feed and tack opens tomorrow ill go grab some wazine and see if that helps her. Using DE tonight on her we have been forcing her to eat by opening her beak and putting some wet mash in her beak not a lot just a small amount till she swallows repeat until crop is full also give her water by putting a drop in the front of her beak so she will drink it. tonight she got what I'm calling super mash regular starter put through a coffee grinder till it was a powder add DE and probiotics make into a dough with pedalite.

hope she perks up a bit.

so as of now we have

1 silkie 3 weeks old
1 bantam something 3 weeks old
1 Grey something (its not a silkie but its feathered legs look like its wearing bell bottoms)
1 yellow Cochin?
and 4 soon to be 3 (if someone will take the roo) Rhode island reds
