My oh my!!! I was helping the kids pick up sticks before we mowed and I found giant mushrooms!!! I think they are Calvatia Gigantia. Anyone with mushroom experience?? I also found some neat lily looking plants and a black eyed Susan. The lady that had this place before us had a green house and sold plants so there are strange plants popping up wild from the seeds blowing around. What do you guys think these are?? I also have tons of yarrow growing. What do I do with yarrow?

Kassaundra, do you sell pullets?
How do the cocks hold onto the hens w/o any feathers back there?

Sometimes they grab the topknot, sometimes the neck. I have a NN pullet I keep having to isolate because the rooster and one of the other hens grab her by the skin on her neck and rip it open. I've tried twice. After she heals this time I am going to put her in a different pen with a younger group, it is obviously not working for her.

Nematodes, yes I've used them.

Pro, they work but you can't tell until they don't.

Con, you can not use any pesticides even if needed.

OMG, I've already used three pre-wound bobbins on my embroidery machine today. YIKES! Haven't done that since the Christmas rush.

I am rebuilding my flock, yes I would sell pullets, I'm sure I'll have a few extra this year, but may not know who is extra until late summer / early fall. I will choose my keepers when they are full grown so I can see final size / color / pattern / top knot / temperment etc.....

Anyone getting birds from me needs to know I am not npip cert. I do not vaccinate or treat illness. (well I guess I do but ..............

)

this just means Kass gets to be super picky about the girls she keeps for her own flock/breeding program! Lol
