I haven't had that experience with the hens and the nettles at my house. They avoid nettles almost completely 🤔 but maybe that's because the yard has tastier options on the menu?

We've been pulling them out and so far it's curtailed the spread, but you have to keep going with it. Their flowers have loads of seeds.

I have this problem with at least two, maybe three varieties of bur clover. 🙄
 
Speaking of Flash…

You know I tried to tube Flash a couple times. The first time was because I didn’t want to waste a syringeful of feed and her crop was empty. Other times were because she was starving herself. Well, I stopped since it was so stressful for her AND she was eating a tiny bit. But can I share a great outcome? The last three mornings I made time to sit with them for a few minutes in the run before work. All three days, Flash, who is a pretty nervous hen in general, came for lap cuddles, despite a hard molt! That is a first for me. I have lots of lap sitters, but they usually steer clear during molt. I have never had one come to me for comfort during molt!
