B.t. galleriae works great against beetles ('Beetlegone' is the brand name). Expensive, though.
My wife grows brussels sprouts. Wish she didn't -- not my favorite.
We have Sussex currently -- great breed -- and Ameraucana. I've always loved the look of the D'Uccle -- how are they to keep? Do they lay much?
We're getting a batch of Brahma and Silkies in a few weeks, so long as bird flu stays away until then (one county in WI is closed to poultry movement so far; not sure how this will pan out). Odd mix, but I'm still searching for the perfect breed for us, and hopefully want to get some that will sit so we don't have to buy chicks every few years.
