***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Finally got my last seed order in today. This one has the herbs for worming and pesticide, and soapwart just b/c it sounded cool, using a plant for soap. The plants that I got that have natural pesticidal properties I am going to make a fermented plant juice out of and use as a spray, that is unless the chickens do their jobs this year. I'll have to do a little more research on the herbs w/ worming properties and see if I am just going to offer the plants free choice for the chickens to eat, that was my idea at first, just need to read up and make sure that is still the plan.

I decided to skip the auction when my babies started hatching!

I have one d'Anvers chick out and one ameracauna! One of the golden salmon marans has pipped. They were due to hatch tomorrow so I am sitting in front of the bator now!! At least I am sitting there when the kids back up and give me a chance.

Wonder if 7 is too early for them to go to bed! LOL

Kass, what are the names of the herbs that have worming properties? I always prefer more natural remedies to chemical.

Well my rooster figured it all out. My hens are fine. I guess he finally realized he had to be a gentleman to get anywhere. He looks so darn pleased with himself!

My list is at home and I'm at work. I'm not sure if it will work any better then the onions, garlic, hot peppers, pumpkin seeds (that I do not think actually work) I ordered some for allowing the chickens to have access to, and see if they have any intrest in eating them. Also not sure if it does work if it will be to much work and or possible bad side effects. I plan on doing alot more research before giving any of it to the chickens except by free choice growing in the yard figuring chickens have sense enough to avoid things that are bad for them. Others I plan on making a tea for insecticidal uses in the garden one of those was high pryethreum (sp) I think some sort of chrisanthymum, and wormwood which is both as a parasitic and insecticidal properties. I will do a stool sample before worming my chickens and even after getting these seeds may still end up using chemical worming agents but I would rather go natural where and when I can.
