Morning, all. Today finds my yearling broad breasted turkey hen with her throat ripped open, like a coon attack through the chain link. Her trachea and esophagus are exposed, the flesh is pulled wide open, and far too many layers are damaged to attemp to close it. The wound is about 4" wide x 5" high as the edges are splayed wider than her neck.

Sprayed her down with iodine wound dressing. We'll see how she does.

I had to move that trio outside because of all the babies inside. I need to sell my Sonny - bronze - Bourbon Red trio so OG and his gals can go inside!

Oh sorry walnut.

 

[WalnutHill]

Really sorry to hear that. How does she look otherwise? Is she shocky?

No, she seems pretty okay. Walking around and drinking at least

Ther is another wonderful way! you can enrich your soil by planting at least once every 2 years a crop of plants from the Pabaceae family.
Beens, especially broad been, Pees, Lentils, and the best are Alfalfa, Vicia and Clover . This family of plants have a Mutualic Symbiosis with a genus of Microbes cald Rhizobium that assimilate Nitrogen from the air and makes it available to the plants, and in the way it enrichs the soil.
Alfalfa and Clover is the best because in the end of growth you plow the fild with the plants letting them decompose thing that enriches even more the soil!

Hi Benny....

Ugh, just after 0400 here, guess it's morning. Will tell you if it's good after I have my coffee....,.

Ugh... I was just getting to bed at that time.....

I dont think these are the dwarfs though
She gave me the website that she ordered them from, so I will see if I can figure out which ones these are. Thanks for that bit of background. I was wondering also but hadn't looked it up yet. Also dont know if the black is black, or split for anything.
Morning! I slept in a little. You sure didn't! Good luck with all you have to do today.

No pips in the hatcher as of yet.

Morning... WV

LOL. Good morning watching the sun rise over the Sandias.

Pretty... I really got to get to NM sometime....

Happy Saturday frawgs!
One day late on the anniversary Oz! The rocking chair sounds really nice! You definitely do rock!

Sorry Walnut.... Hope it does okay..

Never kept the sprouts for very long. That's not why I did it. Plus. There were tons of avocados around town and I'd trade lemons and limes for them whenever I wanted. DD would bring home bags from some guy at work.

Sucks I actually have to pay for avocados and citrus now.

Kind of like the rest of us...

Well at least there's that.... Good luck

Not to my knowledge.

Plants feed on the micro nutrients in the soil . If not replenished the soil becomes poor or the micro nutrients depleted . they must be replenished with organic matter . chemicals burn them up more or less . before you plant the wheat field again a good composted organic fertilizer will help the soil . or grow wheat and plow it in . your rabbit fertilizer gave them a good boost .

I did not see this before. Benny is also absolutely correct, clover is one of the best cover crops. We have a rotation that includes using a clover cover crop every so often. It is great, we let the cattle graze it and rent out space to a beekeeper (love having unlimited honey)
Hairy Vetch, actually does an even better job of replenishing soil, but you need to be careful what you plant into the field after because it is a weed and behaves like one.

My Drake's keep chasing the mallards away..... The Hen mallard was letting me feed her corn

That's too cool, Phil...

I have to check with her, but I think the bit she told me about chocolate is (if it's the true sex-linked chocolate) females only need 1 copy to show it, but males need 2 copies... so females can't carry/be split only be chocolate or not... males can be chocolate or carry/be split and not show it...

WV don't know why your quote didn't show up. What a long struggle it has been for you two..I prayed, & will keep praying

You know you guys I never could get avocado seeds to grow and I have a green thumb! Lol don't know why..
Me and my DH spend ALL...DAY...at Fort Hays State university with Michaela today for her orientation...it's gonna be a killer long day!
Everyone have a good one!
Ravyn when your on later I found a beautiful pair of bisque porcelain small ducks. They reminded me of your Lady Grey. I know how much she means to you I'll put a photo up later.

Bisque porcelain? Never heard of those... yep, LG is my girl...

what you do is while it's green and growing before it starts to put out seed stalks mow it down and plow it in .growing crops will deplete the soil and allowing them to die and decay on the surface will not replenish the soil fast enough . the practice of no till farming relies on large quantities of chemicals to feed the crops but is bad for the soil. you have to feed the soil . It is after all alive .

I agree with you that it is interesting, but waiting 3-7 years for a fruit and then getting a olive size Avocado....I prefer to invest my efforts in a outer mor productive issues.

That's why you grow it out a few years then graft a few branches. You still get the seedling but its not taking up room and being unproductive.

It was the severe drought the south went through. People bought hay, until hay became impossible to find, then broke down and sold their whole herd. They said we had fewer cattle then, then we had had since the 50s. It just took this long to recover from it. People will lose money, but I do not think cattle will get too much lower (of course I could be completely mistaken) But I think it was less a bubble and more a recovery.
Kids is right *Dang autocorrect* K is right. You need to till the green under, in order for it to benefit the soil. No till is awful the soil just looks unhealthy (course most farmers around here do not care, they just keep planting their corn and chemicals)

I know

SHALOM Phil
How do you feel?
