    You can make a parasite tincture with the green hulls! Fill a glass jar with the hulls and put 50% vodka and 50% structured and or filtered water. What's in a dark one place for 4 weeks. Using a dropper fault in a glass of water upon rising. It kills most parasites in the body.

    Had to see this again...I modified the design to fit a premade coop on top of your design which is amazing...a three story coop. The linolem is now part of a second story nesting area. Now I am builing your frame design again to add to the original for an estimated 12 foot bottom run area becase the sun hits in the late afternoon and I needed to give them some dirt and shade. Thanks again.

    still debating gathering and processing all the walnuts from the two large black walnut trees here, but what's the rush, only been here for 42 years and never once di anything with them but cuss and mulch them up with mower. the squirrels love them, as do other ground critters after they've fallen. they do dull mower blades pretty fast. (grrrr) used to be three of them trees, a huge storm took one down/broke half the roots, we stood it backup and tied off to the next walnut tree, eventually the rope wore away and a huge (odd wind direction storm) knocked it over again. I just cut it up and burnt out back, thinking back, I should have made larger logs and called the shop teacher at school I went to. they'd have loved the free black walnut woo. 🙄 afterthoughts of a gung-ho get it done very late teen years fella. (tree down in my way, slice and dice to burn pile within 3 hours of storm ending) 😖

    This is a really nice setup. One important thing I would change would be adding more ventilation. Chickens really only need wind protection so the upper portions of the house should be more open so the waste gasses can escape quickly and easily. Their poop can become toxic to the birds and you won't really know it until they die

    Ive found a random walnut tree in a pull over spot on the highway and all the nuts were just rotting on the ground. I dont think people knew what they are but I dont blame em it looks like that spot is a teen racer party spot... beer cans everywhere, rope from towing cars, bits of random wire (from radios I think?). I wouldnt be noticing walnuts amongst that if I were blackout drunk at night either. Im gonna go there in the day with a couple rubbish bins, clean up that spot's rubbish and take a bag of walnuts as my reward. Not cause I care about making the teen party spot pretty but its right next to a river as well 😢 I think a bit of give and take is good when you're foraging.

    • @E_Fleming
      @E_Fleming 3 місяці тому

      I was living in a house that already had a walnut tree and I was surprised to find out that they were edible. Some people really like the prominent / stronger walnut flavor that you get from a black walnut vs English walnut. I like the English walnut a bit more, but these were free 🙂Syrup can be made from black walnut sap (same process as tapping sugar maple but the sugar content is a little lower w walnut tree). The syrup tastes great, a mixture of butterscotch and maple syrup flavor. Walnut lumber is very pretty, and it’s just a pretty tree in general.
