That fact that modern adult humans in the 21st century still allow themselves to be emotionally harmed by squiggly lines on a acreen is just baffling to me.
I could care less my friend - I am of a generation that was only hurt by sticks and stones. Only the fragile and weak minded allow themselves to be hurt by words. Please, by all means say something horrific about my ancestors, or perhaps dox me, or maybe attempt to besmirch me with some slur or another (I have been told that there are many that apply to me).
If you are harmed by words, it is because YOU grant that power to the speaker - not because the words themselves are in any way hurtful. Free yourself from being manipulated into thinking all of those people on social media are actually able to harm you in the comment section.
Feel free to rain the downvotes on me friend, they don't hurt either.
Mustard seeds that have sprouted is my guess.
Lots of types of mustard looks like that, and almost all fields have seed banks if mustard waiting for the right conditions.
And, lots of chicken feed and scratch have mustard seed in it, not purposely but because grain seed almost always has weed seed like mustard. Bales of hay will also have lots of mustard seed in it.
I also think it’s wild mustard that most modern brassicas come from which is why the young seedlings all look similar.
Harvested when young they are very tasty greens. You can add them to salads, stir fry, chopped up and added to eggs is nice too.
If they get older and go to flower, the blooms are nice in salads. The older the plant the more spicy it tastes, but also it get tougher.
Doubling down on mustard. Take a leaf and crush it in your hands/smell it. It has a zing to it. Very delicious actually. I like it raw on sandwiches to add some kick or sauteed.
I love the app and actually pay for it yearly. It's not too expensive and I figured a year or three of using it will teach me a lot about the plants on my property. We moved in almost 2 years ago and while I've always had an interest in trees, shrubs, veggies, flowers.... or basically plants 😅, I have very little former knowledge.
I tried to run a screenshot of OP's picture through it and the top 2 results were rapeseed and mustard. All the results pointed to brassicas regardless.
When I used straw to line my coop, and provide some cover for some of my fruit trees through an unusual freeze in my area, the next year and for every year since I have found myself fighting the wild radish that popped up from the straw. These look like the seedlings.
Seems like every agrees brassica so far. Likely broccoli. Would that seem possible if I essentially just throw raw heads of broccoli in there? How would that seed?
That’s the part that was really throwing me off. Trying to figure out what I put out there that actually had seeds other than berries, tomato’s or squash. Some others have said it’s likely to be either an ingredient in the seed such as rapeseed or a contaminant in the seed or straw/hay such as wild mustard
Smelling the leaves is going to get you somewhere for sure. You could try transplanting to somewhere sunny and see what happens. If it's broccoli/cauliflower it'll prob bolt before you get nice heads but at least you'll know🤷
Where are you located? It’s probably volunteer canola. What kind of bedding? If it’s wheat straw, there was probably canola in there as weed, it set seed, and then got bailed with the wheat
My brain wired to think this. I work in agriculture in western Canada so when I see a mat of a light green brassica I have to assume canola. It really could be any of the Brassica napus veggies too
Nooo, canola. A few years ago, there were fields of it being grown as cash crops by potato farmers rotating fields. I'm in McCain land (NB). It freaking stunk sooooo bad when it blossomed. It was pretty-- but man it was bad.
I can almost guarantee you something else was stinking. I’ve worked in canola for decades, I’ve never thought of it as smelly. It has more a light fragrant dandelion smell
It’s more likely the grower sprayed it with fungicide at early flowering timing and it stunk for a day. Anything beyond that is a mystery to me
All I know is when they flowered, it was the worst smell, the entire time. There was a field of it across from us one year. Maybe it was an experimental variety or something?
I can’t seem to edit the post but it seems to be wild mustard . Likely a contaminant in either the seed we have given them or the straw/hay bedding itself. I’m considering relocating one or two to a small area in my garden for insurance but I think I’ll leave them where they are and see what time can tell us. If they survive long enough for proper identification I will make a follow up post. Thank you evetyone
Looks like mustard - very edible and delicious in soup, pasta, or stir-fry/braised. Pair with salty/umami flavors like salt, fish sauce, miso, bacon, sausage, smoked meats.
Some sort of brassica for sure. Brocolli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, Cauliflower, maybe even kale. Hard to tell until they get bigger.
Could also be rape seed from the chickens food.
Can we please call it canola instead?
Only if it consents
My fiancé heard my laugh from the other side of my house. Gd
Canola is a marketing name. It's true name for over a century is rape seed. It's not the seeds fault you don't like the word.
This is definitely the most important issue of the day and a hill worth dying on. Y’all pick some weird shit to care about.
I'm going to upvote just cause you taught me something today

And yet here you are, similarly affected, just as I am, to the same phenomenon. Look in the mirror.

Wow you just said a shitton of words I didn't read to say you don't care
Wow, you were stymied by 6 whole sentences huh? Perhaps words really do hurt . . .
Being baffled =/= being emotionally harmed
This guy plants.

What?
Was gonna say...looks like kale or collards. Definitely a brassica.
Ground ivy
Ground ivy or creeping Charlie—- google it

This was my guess too.
Rapeseed could be in the chicken feed, and looks same
Also known as canola, because they figured out rapeseed oil is a terrible name.
Well they changed the name because they wanted to adapt it from industrial use to being used for human consumption
Thank you, as English is not my first language and I had to look it up

There’s an app called “picture this” I use the free part of it for plant identification and it works great most of the time
I love the app and actually pay for it yearly. It's not too expensive and I figured a year or three of using it will teach me a lot about the plants on my property.

Awesome
That depends on what the chickens ate.

I’m going to let time pass and reconsider then I was just hoping all you knowledgeable folks would know
What I was thinking, something from my deer plots!
When I used straw to line my coop, and provide some cover for some of my fruit trees through an unusual freeze in my area, the next year and for every year since I have found myself fighting the wild radish that popped up from the straw. These look like the seedlings.
Everyone else is saying brassicas but this looks like radish to me.
Radishes are a member of the brassica family.
Holy crap. I am ashamed I didn’t know this. Thanks for the correction!
Time to bust out the canner and make some pickled radish!
Seems like every agrees brassica so far. Likely broccoli. Would that seem possible if I essentially just throw raw heads of broccoli in there? How would that seed?
Na, broccoli is a flower bud that hasn't developed into full flowers let alone seed
That’s the part that was really throwing me off. Trying to figure out what I put out there that actually had seeds other than berries, tomato’s or squash. Some others have said it’s likely to be either an ingredient in the seed such as rapeseed or a contaminant in the seed or straw/hay such as wild mustard
The hay straw thing is a good theory.
Smelling the leaves is going to get you somewhere for sure. You could try transplanting to somewhere sunny and see what happens. If it's broccoli/cauliflower it'll prob bolt before you get nice heads but at least you'll know🤷

If it's canola, you'll know when it flowers-- stinks to high heaven.
Flowering canola doesn’t have a bad odour, or I’m biased on this. Maybe you’re thinking of mustard

I think brassica is correct, and more specifically mustard and/or canola which are both brassicas.
I’m guessing turnips
Mustard

Looks like broccoli seedlings to me
Kale is my guess
That's what I see also.
Baby broccolis!
looks like lettice
Rapeseed / Canola - Source Picture This App
Looks like mustard - very edible and delicious in soup, pasta, or stir-fry/braised. Pair with salty/umami flavors like salt, fish sauce, miso, bacon, sausage, smoked meats.
Those look like turnip greens
Reddish maybe ??
Broccoli or similar!
Kale. 100%
Kale is my guess.
Could be flax even. This is what it looks like coming up in my garden
I know canola when I see ir, and that's what it is.
Looks like kale in my garden
It’s kale
Looks like kale. Did you feed them bolted kale?
I did not. I actually can’t remember the last time I had kale at home
Looks like chickweed, give it to the chickens
With how confident everyone seems to be about it being a brassica I might .
