I think she needs to pee in that area.Ashes will make the pH more basic, the opposite direction of acidic.

Depending on the situation, urine can be acidic or basic.I think she needs to pee in that area.

Do you remember their names? They look like young Limelights or maybe Bobos, but if they are supposed to be pink they might be Zinfin Doll, Strawberry Sundae, or something similar.View attachment 2267974
I can’t remember exactly if the 2 on the ends are hydrangeas or not but they we’re supposed to be pink and pink/white but they are just whitecould it have to do with the aviary soil ph???? Mr muddy just calls them quail food
he can’t remember either!!!!
That only works on certain types of hydrangeas and it takes a while because the soil must change first in order for the plant to uptake the nutrients, or lack of. Such as the effect of acidity on aluminum in the soil.Could the Dawg add something to make it more acidic and have it change the color to red?
This would be neat Dawg.
.....sorry, my nerd is showing"Generally, an acidic or low pH will induce 'blueness'; whereas, a higher or alkaline pH will induce 'pinkness or redness'. Work in England seems to indicate that higher aluminum content influences blueness more than pH levels.

I’m gonna try this!!!Do it! Let's see if it works.
Very interesting! Thanks! So that would make them more blue?Ashes will make the pH more basic, the opposite direction of acidic.
How would I even manage that even if I wanted to!? I can’t aimI think she needs to pee in that area.

Thank you!! This is extremely helpful!!! I think I’m gonna enter that one of Jack! Had a few people say it now. And it would honor him maybe. And I’m gonna either try to get a picture of the chicks for the second entry or one of Danno. I love your tips!! So helpful! I can’t decide now whether to enter Danno, Jack, or chick pics@KDOGG331
Jack 2 and 7
SS mom and kids 2 and 3.
The last Jack is good but just needs some editing for brightness/exposure and a little contrast.
If you could get Danno against some lighter green, like Jack is in 2, he'd really pop! Or maybe against the side of the coop?....something lighter blue or green to really set off his color.
Exactly how do you know that?Depending on the situation, urine can be acidic or basic.
I'm adding nerd to the title now.Do you remember their names? They look like young Limelights or maybe Bobos, but if they are supposed to be pink they might be Zinfin Doll, Strawberry Sunday, or something similar.
If they are young plants they might just need time. Often the pale pinks ones will flower out pink, then age out white. Soil could be causing them to be all white.
That only works on certain types of hydrangeas and it takes a while because the soil must change first in order for the plant to uptake the nutrients, or lack of. Such as the effect of acidity on aluminum in the soil.
New cultivars have/and are coming out that will start blue, turn purple, and finish off with a pinkish tone.
More acidic soils than tend towards the blues and purples and alkaline soils tend towards reds and pinks, but that's mainly in the macrophylla (big leaf) types.
Paniculatas will remain true to color despite acidity levels in the soils.
