My orange cake picture is going a little crazy on Pinterest right now and bringing lots of visitors to my blog!

Oooooh, and I have oranges right now. Off to go look at your blog.

If chickens are "often" infected with Salmonella, why was that not found in the death study? Must be a slow news day.

Neem and other horticultural oils can be sprayed several times during the year. A good time to spray is early in the spring before flowering. It is probably best to not spray anything while trees are in flower, as chemicals of any kind can be hard on bees, once flowering is over they are unlikely to be exposed.

As if the salmonella hysteria isn't bad enough. Now everyone is going to think backyard chickens should be banned.

Yes, it does seem like that was the idea behind the story.

Definitely.

This is CA where raising your own meat, growing your own garden, and being self sufficient is discouraged. I'll take my chances thanks! Foster Farms has salmonella and my chickens do NOT.

I got that impression too. The last line killed me. “If you do not want to put some time and education into it, I’d say don’t do it." Well, you don't say?

Oh, this may be my first time posting in here. I lurk a lot though!

Someone has to counter quickly with a positive chicken story - therapy chickens, chickens as companions for special needs children - I know I have read them- etc.
