Hi Elizabeth, here's the enforcement code from the Animal Control:

Kim - I'm glad to see you back on here, how's your hand?

Daniel - I'm really glad your daughter is standing her ground still. I'm sure learning about this guy had something to do with it. She should see now that this wasn't her fault, the guy was already like that before she met him.

 

[sherylreno]

Well off to bed I must go now. Goodnight everyone! I hope the dog made it home with you.

I'm ignoring the ignore so I won't be saying anything about it since I'm ignoring it.

Sheryl, that is Las Vegas code, not Reno. It's on the same page of the website but Reno code related to animals is "Municipal Code City of Reno Nevada CHAPTER 8.28. ANIMAL CONTROL" not 7.38.050.
http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/stusnvodlasvegas_reno.htm#s50
Reno code only refers to any animal that commits nusiance and noisy animals. So the good news is you are not prohibited from keeping a rooster, but a rooster could be noisy and cause annoyance. Reno code doesn't mention poultry.



Sec. 8.28.050. Keeping of noisy animals.
It is unlawful for any person to keep, harbor or own any animal or poultry which by loud or frequent habitual barking, yelping, braying or other noise cause annoyance to the neighborhood or to any persons in the vicinity.


Sec. 8.28.060. Unlawful for person having custody of animal to allow animal to commit nuisance.
(a) It is unlawful for the owner or person having the care, custody or control of any animal to permit, either willfully or through failure to exercise due care or control, any such animal to commit any nuisance upon any public property or any other property under the control of or in the possession of any other person, whether or not open to the public.
(b) "Nuisance" shall mean any act, conduct or circumstance, which is injurious to health, or indecent and offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property of others.

I wondered where she got that! I read that code thoroughly when I moved here and only saw the nusiance laws. Whew, thought I was losing it for a minute there!

Aubrey was having issues with the new platform and her phone. Her computer won't navigate it well at all.

Hopefully she was still be able to peek at the B-day wishes... My computer is super slow on the new platform too. Getting tougher and tougher to stay caught up.

Thanks for the pics Horseshowmom! Cute babies!!!

OK. I finally got some pics of my babies! Sorry they aren't the best but here ya go...


OK I promised pics so here are just a few of the dozens I took today. No contest winners here but cuties none the less!
This fella is from the oldest batch of chicks from Kim/Wolftracks.


This gal wants to mother all the babies when they are out exercising with her during the day. But they aren't much interested in holding still. She's already got her nest staked out!


They are really starting to take off and fly. The run is covered so no wing clipping necessary for these guys.

This little fella made a break for it (with the help of the lavender pushing from behind lol). Steve scooped him right up though and back in he went.


Really curious about the big black box stuck to my face!


Total camera hogs these babies are but the edge made them think twice about trying to crowd in any closer.

OK the Polish babies are at that awkward adolescent phase but here ya go...

This little boy and girl seem to have quite a bit more fluff on top than most of them. Steve is so proud of his new babies!

Do I need to get written permission from my neighbors to keep my chickens? They gave me thier blessing when I started but I didn't ask for a permission slip. Also, no brooders in the basement?

Thanks everyone for the concern for my Daughter and my Father. I still don't much more about Dad than I did the other day. Basically they want to try other methods for getting lung tissue samples. My Daughter and I go to court tomorrow morning to get the TPO extended. This is all pretty rough on her simply because court scares her. But she is not showing any sign of feeling sorry for the father. We have done a lot of talking about what motivates a person like him. Not bad mouthing him just helping her understand that not everyone does what they do for good reasons. Nearly everyone knows the right thing to do, and they will claim that they are trying to do the right thing. But you have to look at the results of there efforts in life to see what they really want. Him for example can talk til he's blue in the face about what he needs to do, how he will support his family etc. but has never once since his son was born two and a half years ago held a job. He has never once given my daughter a dime to help take care of the children but will go on and on about everything he is capable of. I think Ashley is really starting to see how her ex is looking for someone to admire him as much as he admires himself. HE has a silver tongue and is convincing, but slowly we are peeling away that silver lining he puts up and she is seeing for herself the emptiness that is behind it. I think she is pretty solid in her frame of mind that is something like this. "Shut up and send a check, I am not real interested in how you get it" I approve heartily with that attitude.

On the noise of roosters issue. A little more info on what specifically is considered a nuisance. A dog can be allowed to bark for up to 15 minutes and not be considered a nuisance. Roosters would be likewise. Other noise restrictions apply such as no barking after 9 P.M etc. I am not sure how early noise is restricted though. But I think it is about 6 a.m. I have a couple of serama rooster in my back yard and never have had a problem concerning them. One is a crowing fanatic. He is out there making his presence known as I type. Larger roosters do have a louder crow though.

On the topic of Roosters. We still have two Auracauna Roosters (hope I spelt that right) that we are looking for home for. I am a bit stumped as to wether they are even roosters though. We put them in a pen of their own to see if they start crowing or laying eggs. So far none of either and if they where roosters I would have expected crowing by now.

An update on the Rocket Mass heater for those interested. We got back to work on rebuilding it with the latest list of changes yesterday. this time it is considerably different and much bigger. we had to stop until we can get more brick. I plan to do that today. We are going to just bury it in dirt for now rather than make a ton of cob but that will allow us to test the design. Wish us luck. If it works as I want it to I will be ready to show others how to make them. I am really serious about putting something like that together so if you woudl be interested in attending a work shop type thing let me know. I don't expect it to be any cost at this time. If it ends up that materials have to be bought to build a project heater I will let everyone know.
With a little help from you all we will try to convince Sunny to provide some entertainment I am not known to be shy and hove no problem with doing a demonstration at all, I woudl look forward to it. But I will tell you know it will be a hands on class so expect to play in the mud.

I have been going over in my mind a little bit what a demonstration should include. So far I have come up with this.
1. cover the anatomy of the heater and how all the parts basically work including the critical parts that cause the heater to work correctly.
2. a hands on actually build a heater so that people see how the pieces go together along with some sort of drawing that will refresh your memory later when you try to build one on your own.
3. Hopefully we will have our final heater built on our patio as an example of what a finished stove can look like.
4. cover some of the issue that building departments have with heaters of this type and possible ways to overcome them.
5. this is a heater not perfection. It is cheap but not free. So a discussion of it's strengths and weaknesses woudl be a good thing.
6. cover the details of making cobb, selecting other materials and the skillls or techniques needed that are related to building the stove. some of these woudl include ability to cut brick. cut metal and assemble duct work. burn paint for a metal barrel. How to build with cob the and using a trowel or other tools to finish the cob.

None of that really goes beyond basic skills but you would want to be aware they are required before deciding to making one of these heaters.

If anyone has anything else in mind that they would like to have specifically covered let me know. Most important for now. If you are interested in learning how to build one at some yet to be determined date. just let me know. I really look forward to doing one and maybe having something like a Reno BYC'rs pot luck lunch at the same time. Maybe BBQ over our own self made stove. I will have to see how doable that would be.

Thanks Elizabeth, I guess I didn't scroll down to see Reno is different. That's great. This whole time I thought I was in violation with how far another dwelling needs to be from the coop but nope all is good now. John still won't get a rooster at all because of the noise factor and the neighbors. He also thinks the raccoons haven't found us yet because we don't have a rooster, the raccoons are all around us and so far so good. I want to keep it that way too, those things are nasty and mean.

What great pics from everyone, it's wonderful seeing all the pics.

Daniel, your daughter is strong just like you are. It's always better to show the differences good and bad then to point fingers and yell and all that other stuff some people do. Your grandchild is lucky to have you as well.

 

[americanvalkyrie]

Elizabeth... Whew! I thought those were stricter than what I had originally read for Reno. If a coop had to be 300 ft, I'm in violation. Good thing it's not as bad here!

Sunny... So cute! Are any of those olive eggers?

Daniel... Do you have the reference where it talks about dogs barking for 15 minutes? I believe you, but I have a friend who's dealing with a nuisance dog and could use a municipal code for leverage. We try really, really hard to keep our dogs under control, and one of my pet peeves is when my neighbors don't... and then my dogs start to get in on the act. When Tater was a puppy, I had a really big problem with the neighbors across the alley because my other two didn't bark. And I didn't want Tater to bark unless there's a problem. Well, those people moved away, so she pretty much only barks when someone is on the other side of the fence... I'm ok with that.

I'm fine without keeping roosters, though I know some of you really want one. For me, it's good because it reduces my flock number when I "accidentally" order too many. And it's good to know that the laws are relaxed enough that I won't have cops breathing down my neck if one starts crowing and I can't get him on Craigslist fast enough.

I would love to do a BYC potluck sometime! BBQ weather is coming up!

6 days until I have my chicks! Two weeks until the duckies hatch!
