Never tried....no reason too.Have you been able to transplant any?
Yuck!Just got in from pulling poison hemlock second year plants, starting to flower. UGH! ...
What are they?Chicken snacks or plant food?
I called the state wildlife department to check whether it is okay to gather them. It is. So I picked up a couple of gallons of them this morning.
It went better than I expected. I thought it was much more likely to find plant food quality than chicken snack quality. Them I found most of them are completely dry - I think the moisture was sucked out of them completely and quickly by the hot, dry (for around here) air above and hot, dry sand below. Anyway, I can remember tbe die offs of the seventies that had rotting fish and stink. This is not that. I don't smell them in the truck or on my hands. I tempted to seal them in mylar to feed the chickens through the year.
I also found a few that were fresh enough that their eyes were still partly clear. I'm tempted to see if the chickens like them.
Edit to add: I asked only about the dead ones on the beach.
I have a wide mouthed container with a lid. JB's defense is to let go and fall when something disturbs them. I put the container under whatever they're on, tap them, and catch them in the container. It has about 1" of plain water in it. They will cling to each other and make islands in the water.Do you squish them and feed them to the chickens? I’ve been spraying mine wish dish soap and water mixed together to stop them from flying then I flick them into a cup of soapy water, but I felt I can’t feed them to the chickens because of the dish soap ? So curious what way you do it so my chickens can get a nice snack too! We killed a lot but they seem to be dying down now and not as many as last week.
My Black Australorps laid at 19 and 20 weeks.Question for you guys, my girls (we officially got no rooster) are coming up to 11 weeks old. I believe there is no eggs until 16 weeks of age or so? What is the earliest your chicks have laid? Our entire flock is Australorps in case the breed makes a difference?
One of my hens does not like them.The chickens like them alive, drowned, or squished.
Ours get mitten shaped leaves. They are a show in the fall, that's for sure.The color is amazing... green to yellow to orange/red...sometimes showing all 3 at once.
