- The most harmful weeds in this part are chicken-weed, creeper, yarrow and nettle. Chicken weed spreads very rapidly and will smother up anything that gets in contact with it. Where land is good thistle and dockens are the most common, and where land is bad bogwood and nettle are to be seen. A nettle will sting but if you rub the sore with a docken three times it will cure it. Chopped nettles and oaten meal is good feeding for young turkeys.
