As far as the chickweed goes, my son (who turns three next week) loves to pull weeds and feed them to the chickens. He'll actually pull ANYTHING and feed it to the chickens but we're still working on selecting the right stuff :)


Young ones are a little zealous of their weed pulling, that's for sure. But glad for their help. Smiling I hadn't thought about giving it to the chickens. Great idea. We've been giving them soft tomatoes and other garden veggies, along with those pest Corn Rootworm Beetles that I shake into a bucket of water.

There I go again, bringing those crazy beetles into another post. I may not get Japanese Beetles (yet), but I've got plenty of these to keep me occupied.
