This is the biggest clutch of Araucana eggs I've tried to hatch! From my own girls. I hadn't been getting many to hatch, only small batches, for a number of reasons. They were broody, then were hiding them, they were raising chicks, etc.

 

But now, I have thirty eggs in my Brinsea. So in three weeks, I should have chicks running around!

Tell them they aren't weeds, they're heirloom cultivars, and give them a catalog from one of those rare, expensive seed companies.

lol, most of the taller weeds are actually chicory which I have been picking and feeding to the rabbit and chickens.

 

I'll work on the pics.

9 Barred Rocks, 3 Buff Orpingtons,  3 RIR, 3 Black Jersey Giants, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 4 easter Eggers, 5 Pekins, 2 Cayugas, and 10 new assorted chicks-what am I doing?

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.

Here's a few pics I took from my front porch.  As you can see, there is no living grass and the plantain weeds are everywhere with a few chicory spread around.  I could understand if I was neglecting my lawn but it's been 90+ for the past 2 weeks and the first day it's in the 80s, they give me a ticket and I can't even mow because it's raining grrrr!  I'll be the first to admit the weeds are long but 24 hours to cut them is ridiculous especially when the notice was left at 6am.  I think its a ploy to make the city money.  The officer who stopped by was nice about it and also thought it was crazy because he had another 150 houses to go to in a town with a population of 3446 in 2010.

I think your hometown is off it's rocker - they don't have enough for their law enforcement officers to do that they waste their time  writing baseless tickets?  Sounds like they need to lay off some staff and save the taxpayers some money.

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

If those are ticket able weeds, mine will send me to jail for sure!

City Savvy turned Country Chic.... what was I thinking?  I have 1 amazing man, 3 Girls, 4 dogs, 20 Chickens,11 Ducks, 6 Turkeys, 1 seriously messy house and I couldn't ask for anything else. OK, maybe a cleaning fairy.....

These little towns are getting out of control with their need to control every little aspect of a citizens life. 

I would not be surprised to get one for my ornamental grasses, natives and butterfly garden.

It was explained in the last city council meeting that failure to comply with the weed ordinance could result in fines and jail time.
