For those of you that have ever owned chicks,
you know that they're messy eaters.
you know that they're messy eaters.
And for those of you that haven't, now you know.
They're messy.
Like hopping in the feed trough, spilling more feed
than what they eat kind of messy.

And when you have more than one feathered friend
eating from the same trough, the messiness just gets multiplied.

We feed our chicks scratch feed once they lose their "fluff."
It has sunflower and corn seeds in it, among other things.
And when you have messy eaters, these seeds get all over the place.
And sometimes, they plant themselves.
We currently have three corn stalks and four sunflower plants
growing in our backyard.
I guess the chickens wanted a little more "character" to their yard.
It's been a nice little summer surprise!
I bought sunflower seeds at the dollar tree once and (although I could hear Ruth in my head telling me I was crazy) they ended up growing! I think that's my luck with all plants.. the ones you don't expect to make it do, and the ones that I love on don't! So impressed with all your adventures that you're sharing!! Hope all is well!!
ReplyDeleteYou would love these. They're HUGE! The second one is about 6 or so feet tall now. It's fun just to watch them grow. Your Memaw would have loved them too. :)
