How about a lawn mower???
3 additional Options:
1. Invite the neighbor's kids over and let them trample them down
2. Get some grasshoppers; when they eat all the leaves, the plants will die then your chickens can eat the grasshoppers
3. how about pulling them up???

I've been kicking around the idea of selling eggs from my girls-only pen at the local farmer's market. When I looked into it, it seems that GA wants retail sellers to have an Egg Candler's Certificate and to take a class. There's no charge for the class or the certificate, which helps, but I want to know if anyone has gone through this process, and if so, if you feel that it is worth it?

If you want/need to sell places other than your own property you don't legally have a choice. It's kind of a bit of a joke since they don't fail anyone but you do at least learn what they expect with labelinng and what you are supposed to look for when candeling eating eggs.

Im still looking for a rooster. I live in Mableton. Im at the most willing to go 30 minutes for him. Cant go to far, got places to be and places to go. If I had the time I would go two hours for a couple chickens. And I have before.

I told you I was going to see if I had one for you.

Looks like Josh has you covered though so I won't bother.

Yeah, just what are you trying to get rid of? Unless it's poison ivy, I would learn to live with just about anything. Most common lawn "weeds" are edible or useful. Chickweed, lamb's quarters, dandelion, purslane, dock, plantain, oxalis, clover, to name a few. I have not learned which of these chickens can eat other than chickweed.

They love clovers and dandelions!

No such things as weeds since the chickens. They are wildflowers! But, we live on a rocky, root-ridden mountain property. There is no "lawn", which is a waste of space and water anyway. Everything is edible here, pretty much. Mine love dandelion greens when they can find that jewel. I've planted clover just for them in the past.

My husband hated the grass that was in our backyard when we moved here. In our "lawn" grass is the weed. We planted big swathes of red clover to keep the grass away. Wildflowers are coming back now that we've burned out the grass.
