    turtle egg care ?

    bad news, a turtle guy told me that them being dumped by the dump truck most certainly killed them even though the shells were not broken. he also told me they were snapping turtle eggs :eek:. he said if by a miracle some hatch that he would take and release them for me.

    freedom ranger taste

    I didn't enjoy the red broilers/freedom rangers either. They smelled pungent when cooking to put it nicely. The Cornish X are my go to from now on.

    Expensive Sticks!! :'(

    if you can, put them is pots of potting mix and put them in dapple shade for a week or so. Keep them watered. They should bounce back. I'm no fan of that company either. Good luck

    What do you use to start seeds?

    Overgrown garden help

    https://thegrownetwork.com/solarize-garden-soil/ this works great. but new weed seeds fly in quickly , so you will need to mulch thickly. I use grass clippings and age coop bedding. happy gardening :)

    My evergreen hedging plant nursery

    Nice shrubs. :thumbsup I also have a small nursery. I had to replace my full sized chickens with bantams. I find they are much less destructive to my plants. I grow more than evergreens. BTW Ducks eat arborvitaes . Just a heads up if you were thinking of getting ducks.
