    What did you do in the garden today?

    Today’s plan is get some help translating the planting instructions on the Korean Seed packets I have from coworkers. If the sun is still up when I arrive home from work some yard clean up. (I leave home in darkness & come home in darkness this time of year). If I can’t do that I am going to...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I have to cage the plants usually or the girls nibble the up. I just noticed they avoided the potatoes pretty much.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    One observation from Garden Seasons past my chickens don’t seem to like potato plants as far as trying to eat the green leaves. But they will tear up the soil around and can dig up potatoes by accident. I can probably get away with less protection on future potato plants once they mature...

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    Ok so how this works out in real life is each egg has a % chance to to get the N gene. If you had enough birds and incubation space out of 100 eggs that hatch then you would get close 25 chicks with the NN combo. The kicker is each new fertilized egg is a roll of the percentage dice. However...

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    I don’t know how many are doing it, but choosing a breed line that produces a lot of eggs to cross with is definitely an option. The Naked Neck gene is dominant so depending on if it is NN or Nn that will determine the % chance of each chick being Naked Neck. So if your Naked Neck is Nn each...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My nephew helped with prepping part of the bed we are working on & planting yellow onions that we picked up. The baby onions were definitely started from seed, so we shall see how those develop. The garlic is growing, and various ornamental bulbs are coming up.
