Welcome to the thread and<ahem>...the above post was my dear husband trying to get us started on this forum. Unfortunately his profile name should have read "what the typo"!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...
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!
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.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?

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!"
We love visitors, hahaha
