I was just reminded how we mowed the grass back when I was a kid, we used a goose-neck hoe that we chopped cotton with to scrape the yard of all grass and weeds. Threw what weeds and grass we scraped off into the chicken pen (calf lot, the chickens shared with the calf, we fattened up for this winters slaughter for canning beef in tallow in Mason jars). The eggs were really golden yellow when the chickens had lots of grass and corn to eat. Bobby
