Weed #6 gets a small yellow flower.

Weed #7 looks to be

Hmmm, could not edit the post further after trying to insert a link. Here is the Curly Dock I found

This is for Weed #7 above

I mentioned Goatheads above though I did not add a photo as I already knew what it looked like and we have very little since it is plucked on sight. I did come across it though and its proper name of Puncturevine

Very appropriately named as these seeds are wicked hurtful.

Weed #1 sure looks like Dandelion as I had always thought

7 is definitely a Rumex species ie a dock.

No 1 is not a Dandelion. Dandelion flowers are totally different. Bright yellow and multiple petalled.

Can you show closer images of the flowers of your plants? No 1 looks as if it is a member of the Brassicaceae but without seeing the flowers I can't be sure.

Floral_uk, I can definitely get closeups. Will try and take them tomorrow if I can find some with filled out flowering. We are just getting some warm days with flowers coming out.

Thank you and I appreciate the input.

Came across Pineappleweed that looks a lot like #3 though I got no hint of pineapple when crushing the leaves as was suggested. Also while searching around I identified another weed we see sparingly as spotted spurge. Fortunately that one is very easy to yank, unfortunately it seems to be ever pervasive so I am upping it to the puncturevine level of kill on sight as it is toxic. Not trying to eliminate every weed here, more like reduce the baddies, culture those that have some good virtues and introduce new ones that we want.

Although the foliage of no.2 looks a little like Pineapple Mayweed, from what I can see of the flowers it isn't that. Are you getting right up close to these plants and having a really good look? Your Dandelion idea and your Mayweed notion imply that maybe you are looking at the foliage but not registering the differences in the flowers. Not just the colour but also the structure e.g. petal count and flower shape.

BTW there is Name That Plant, a plant id forum here which has higher traffic and maybe there will be people there who live in your neck of the woods. I'm only going by plants I know and botanical general knowledge. Lots of your plants will be unknown to me.

Hi Floral, I looked for another forum before posting here but did not see it. I will look again on the link you provided.

I am a total amateur when it comes to plant knowledge so I am indeed just looking at similarities that jump right out. My apologies but I was not able to get those photos today, I will try again tomorrow to get some better detailed pictures.

Have identified #2 as Filaree, a local mentioned its name and after looking it up this is certainly what it is. This is one of the good ones as far as being on the good eats list for the animals.

Well done. That looks right for no.2. I thought the leaves looked like an Erodium but couldn't see any flowers to confirm. There seemed to be something yellow rather than pink there. Erodium cicutarium is aka Red Stemmed Filaree. Sadly it is an invasive species in N America so the more your chickens eat the better. Erodiums are collectively known as Stork's Bills due to the long pointed seed pods. I think a couple are just visible in your picture at 5 o'clock.

Yes they do get those oddly pointed pods. Thanks for staying with me on this Floral, sadly I did not have time to get photos again today. It has been pretty hectic here as we are pushing against the clock on getting a coop built with chicks ready to go in and more coming in behind them. The incubator has about 20 eggs ready to hatch this weekend and The Wife has another 25 chicks due in tomorrow.

I have also been hauling in horse manure on fairly big scale between work and garden so been a little frazzled but getting loads done. I will get more pictures soon though because I really would like to know just what it is that grows wild here, at least the more pervasive of the bunch.

Well shoot. I thought I had some good pictures for the flowers on weed #1 but it turns out that they did not come out. I did get a good shot of the flower for weed #6 and it is certainly fiddleneck which I see is toxic.

So that one gets yanked from the hen treats though I was suspicious of it in the first place and rarely offered it. The above photo is the mature plant in flower.

On the weed #1, My daughter was told by someone they thought it is some kind of mustard.

They weed #2 is certainly not pineapple weed (rayless chamomile) as I saw them both next to each other. We do have the pineapple mayweed here but this weed #2 is far more prevalent. The leaves are very similar but this one has a tiny flower.
