It is a curse. Pretty from a distant but not for any farmer, they hate it the most. It is poison to horses if they eat a lot of it, well that is what we were told when my son had a horse, we use to run around the paddock and pull out any we could fine. Probably not true but at least the owner of the paddock had it no Patterson curse in there. lol Link to comment

Cheers TAZ D A very wise man gave me some excellent advise as a first year Novice, "Renee", he said, "do not spend more than $350 on a bird. Just because they are more expensive does not mean they will live and breed for you". And I never have. But it still hurts when your purchases fall off the perch- I have had one not last the week .... another breed mostly deformed chicks ..... and another not breed at all .... or was an internal layer .... yes the list in endless.
