Nevadans?

[NevadaRon]

I so know where you're coming from Peeps! I had to go through the same thing with my mom - no will, paperwork scattered everywhere, long drawn out probate. And dealing with all that when you are already grieving is awful! All I can say is hang in there - it will get better!

Thank you all for your advise. I appreciate it so much, but we have tried it all even the stuff NevadaRon has told me about. We but it all over Sweetpea, but you have to keep it on her forever or they just go start on one of the other birds. It is called "Pick-No-More". Lacy the new bits for their mouths you told me about may work. Let me no when someone gets them...I will try anything. I am so glad to hear you all have some problems too. I thought I was the only one with naughty birds. Thank you all for being there for me.

azygous, on the thread link I provided had to put one on one of her birds and she says it works really well. If you keep checking in on that thread, you'll know when the guy in Colorado gets them in.

Hello fellow Nevadans! I'm Jackie and I live with my husband and three children in Henderson, NV. We are looking at a relocation to the Reno area for my husband's job. Any advice on where to live in the area? We will be renting to start, since we still own our money pit in Henderson, and my hubby doesn't mind a commute. I would prefer to be in an area where we can keep chickens. My oldest daughter will be 6 and going into first grade, so good schools would be great, but we will also consider home schooling or private school if that is necessary. The most important things for us are the freedom to keep some critters and the ability to provide a solid education for our children!

Can't wait to be more active on the boards!

Howdy JackieG and

NV thread! Other than stuffy HOAs and apartments/condos, chickens are pretty much welcome anywhere around here. We have members on this thread that live near downtown, all the way to waaay out in the boonies. But in the Reno area homes can range from postage sized yards to small acreages. I'm actually out east of Carson City but there are many Reno area folks on here that can help you out.

Thank you NevadaRon! Just waiting for the final offer so we can make it "official" and tell our families. Can't wait to start the process. I'm glad to be getting out of Vegas before the heat really kicks in!

JackieG, I live in an area called the Old Southwest (Plumb, Plumas, Lakeside streets). The upside: there's either a chicken coop or yard-turned-garden on every block. The downside: rent is still a little pricey. It's gone down a bit since I moved here, but you get yards and an awesome community... and a small house... for the money.

I've got 4 broodies. My 2 BRLW are quite serious about it.

I had my wellness check with my dr today. she had my sinuses xrayed--got the results back already and there aren't any abnormalities in them. Tomorrow i'm getting bloodwork done including a local allergens test. I also got an Rx for zytrtec D which has been so helpful in keeping my sinuses under control. I can get a whole month's worth at a time with that Rx instead of 12 days at a time.

I always feel like a criminal trying to buy that stuff but I really need it at certain times of year.

First and foremost, I want to say "Thank you" for all the nice thoughts and sentiments regarding Mom. We're not through it yet as we have her memorial services on April 13th...and judging by what a lifelong fixture she was in her hometown and all the stuff she was involved in it will probably be a huge gathering.

Since the 20th I've been dealing with all things funereal and estate paperwork. Mom, it turns out, was not a tidy bookkeeper and it has been a bit of a forensice family docs hunt. I know we all do not like to think about the inevitable, but I beg you PLEASE get your affairs in order and let your kids or trustees know where the vitals are kept. You can never be too efficient in this department. Luckily, I had a heads up on her passing and got the burial arrangements done beforehand, but the aftermath has been a tidal wave of bureaucracy...and there's nothing worse than trying to find something when you're bawling away. Mom before she died apologized for the mess she was leaving me; I just thought she was talking about clutter. Silly me.

so sorry you've got all the mess on top of your loss. good advice on having everything in place.

I thought I had lost one of my Black Ams this morning when I went to collect eggs. She was just laying there in the bottom of the coop - couldn't even see her face. After gathering the eggs I was going to dispose of her and grabbed her by the tail and started to lift up. Imagine my surprise when she started to squawk at me and bite me! It was good ol' 'Tude. Alive and kicking. Apparently she and her sister have decided to go broody again (sis was right inside the coop door when I opened it and was sitting on some eggs. She was none too happy when I shooed her off of them. One must have just been laid as the bloom was still wet on it!

Hi! I'm in NLV, I plan on filling 2L bottles up with water and freezing them to put into,the coops on the hottest days. That and lots of water and shade. Maybe mist down their sand to help keep them cool.

Do you by any chance have twin grandsons that live in town? I have some friends that have twin boys and their names both start with T's and they call them TnT.
