Curly Dock - (Rumex crispus)

another common weed in the yard.

Curly Dock is a perennial broadleaf that grows everywhere, or at least everywhere that I've ever been.

Between my efforts with the tiller and the increased population of chickens running around, there is not much curly dock in the yard this year, or of many other weeds they find tasty for that matter.
The chickens do a good job of eating the young leaves and the tiller turns the soil, leaving the roots on top of the soil to dry up,

too bad they don't like to eat horehound, and they ignore the malvia also,
