Quote: well the pasture hadn't been mowed so i am thinking thats where he got it, only thing i can figure is him being white attracted them- but they go for the head and neck, and inject a toxin- news to me- didn't know the seriousness of chiggers- i guess ivomec doesn't work against them. so besides him, lost 8 keets to the rains- not my week

I got home from work, opened the door, and a little voice whispered in my mind... Robin lost Timmy, and Van Helsing took flight with him. I went straight through the house to his tub and there he was, head tucked up in the most peaceful sleep any of us will ever know.

I'm going to go pour myself a glass of wine and drink a drink to the most beautiful roo I've ever known.

I am trying to ID some weeds, bushes, vines, and trees to see what I have for the new rabbits for wild forage. Anyone know what these are.




Weed one, you can see the sap is milky, this stuff is everywhere.






Weed 2 This weed also has milky sap, long tap root My DH says could be a type of milk weed.



Weed 3, this one gets huge, clear sap






Weed 4, is this plantain that has gone to seed?



Weed 5, airy foliage and flowers Torilis arvensis






tree 1 This one is a tree, they pop up everywhere






Tree 2, or maybe big bush hard to tell, is it elderberry? It kinda reminds me of my Gma's elderberry, when it was blooming very fragrent







Evil vine 1, hate this crap, big hateful thorns grows like crazy, leaves are a bit thicker then normal.




Weed 6, everywhere




They will be eternally grateful for the ID's

all you guinea folks- how have guineas ever survived is beyond me! i moved mama, aunty and babies into a pen on the porch, within a couple hours mama had stepped on one, didn't seem at all interested in them, so the bathroom sink has 4 bedraggled orphans... i really am shocked, the first guinea mom we had did a good job, granted this one is young- but good grief!

[subhanalah]
