Okay, so maybe I didnt grow them from seed! These are those same weeds growing in the garden area taking over everything. If only they did produce silkies then I wouldnt mind so much! ;)

    Hey Kelly,
    I read somewhere the other day if you want to get rid of weeds (without poison or harmful chemicals) to boil water and pour on them.  Just be sure that you don't get it on plants (or leaves of plants) that you want to grow and thrive.
    The keets are too cute, in fact I think the parents are cute too.  I have always had an affinity for Guineas...go figure.
    Keep cool, it is waaaay too hot out there!

    Pretty flowers you got there, I mean chickens. We have some weeds that look like that but I don't know what they are. Paula

    You are very creative with your captions and those pictures had me laughing.  You know I really love the silkies and the cochens.  I'm wanting to get a chic to raise now and hide it from Dirk.  He keeps insisting that we can't do that here. LOL  I have no idea what that plant is.  It's not kudzu is it?  I can't tell from here.
