INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

It's confirmed now that this is a roo! I had posted awhile back pics of him, not sure if it was roo/pullet. He's one of the barnyard crosses. I'm trying to remember, but I think we decided it was the orpington roo (only option) crossed with a silver laced wyandotte.

Yup, I see four pullets in your bantam pen. I love your Sebright! She looks just like my Sebright, Martha, did. Pretty girl! And yes, as I recall, it was the Orpington that was the dad.

Next round of weed pics coming up. I had a request for the recipe again: 1 gallon vinegar, 1/2 c. salt, 2 big squirts dishsoap (I use an organic brand) -- the dishsoap helps the vinegar stick to the weed better.

Thanks for the recipe! I wasn't one that asked, but I think I missed it before. I think I'm going to give this a try sometime soon. The area where I want to put the duck coop and yard is loaded with poison ivy. :/

I like your brown type color! I always know who's posting crselvey usually uses a different color too. Usually I read half a post and have to scroll back to see who it was posting! I haven't figured out how to change font color from my phone (my only internet access) otherwise I'd post in purple ;P

It won't let me change the color using my Kindle Fire either. Otherwise I'd use green (since you claimed purple!).

Oh, oh, I claim red!! By the way, if you want to change text color, you can always just type in the code for it. In square brackets, put color=purple or color=green, and then end the post with /color in square brackets:

[COLOR=purple][/COLOR] [COLOR=green][/COLOR]

I'm looking for some roosters.  Anyone have a Rhodebar or a Bielefelder rooster for sale? 

I have a bielefelder pair im trying to sell.

Next round of weed pics coming up. I had a request for the recipe again: 1 gallon vinegar, 1/2 c. salt, 2 big squirts dishsoap (I use an organic brand) -- the dishsoap helps the vinegar stick to the weed better.

First off is the thistle. On the left was a day after spraying. On the right was from yesterday. You can still see green on the stem, so I'm going to keep watching to see if it will eventually shrivel up. I may spray it again once an entire week has gone by.

I'm guessing the stem is green because when I first sprayed it the leaves kept most of the solution from reaching the stem.


These are the thistle & wild carrot/queen anne's lace (not sure which) that I mowed first and then sprayed. The first pic is right after spraying. It's hard to tell if it's doing much in the bottom 2 pics. I need to figure out which chopped off weed is which. Looking around at the bed, some of them are much browner than others. It might take the thicker stems longer to die off?? I should have left half the bed unsprayed to see what happened from just mowing -- if they would have still turned brown or not. The big test is whether these grow back....




The grassy stuff was drying up -- not sure if the stem of it closest to the ground will or not. Not sure about the evil vine. I'm surprised how green it still is. There are brown spots on it now, but I have a feeling this one may be harder to kill. May need a couple of treatments. Haven't checked it today yet, though. It's one I definitely need to eliminate -- it spreads everywhere!!

I've tried the straight vinegar with no luck. Must be the salt to dry it up. It was suggested to me by a plant master at a mom and pop nursery, to cut the plant back and wait until it has a small amount of growth, then spray it. Once the new growth is there that plant will suck up all liquid into the plant like a sponge. Now that was years ago way before I realized what damage I was really do to my yard with pesticides. But I wonder if it would work with this recipe. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for the recipe and pics!

The recipe I use has much more salt. I wonder which works better.

We finally have colorful eggs! I love seeing the reactions of people when they open the cartons.

Cool! Thanks for the directions on color. I'm not too familiar with HTML codes.

I'm trying to figure out if I can change the background behind the color. Because Cyan is hard to read on gray.

The caps probably matter.

i GIVE UP.

Quote: it might be easier to figure out the quoting code so for your first post it looks like you are quoting yourself. you can't pick the background color but you can read the cyan color.
