Layers. Free range or better yet Pastured eggs can be found at Target for $6 !!!!! From a farm that puts love sweat and such into their birds as well we charge $3 around here.
This woman needs to get with the times. Understand your not selling pasty looking white slave eggs from hens living in 12 x 12s.
She may think she learned a lesson but she hasn’t learned much.

Erli it probably is that the tree is too far gone for the neem. But I think steady applications may help to some degree. I see it helps with off season dormant aphids as well in bark. Aphids really can help a weak tree along to death.

I cut down and burned the diseased tree. I was thinking the neem oil to spray the ground under the area it was and also the other apple trees as a preventative.

Definitely it was not a fox according to the sounds on you tube... now i'm thinking sasquatch. Ralphie, did you bring him home with you?

It was a whoop (short), whoop (short), whooooooooop (long) sound... always in 3's.

Oh no!!! If it is always in threes, that is my Sasquatch's young unstable sister who has PMS and is extremely OCD. I pity you.

Erli getting rid of the tree may have been good deal.

We got a lot done today, lots of wood cut, split, and stacked. Cleaned the coop, gave the cochins new hay, put hay behind the thatches. This evening I also very thoroughly looked over all of the Cochins and counted points, foot color, wattles(if they were even, any scars), earlobe color.
The most points was a possible 7. I would need to get a magnifine glass out to be 100% sure though, everyone else had 5. Foot color was all good, all slate or close to yellow on top and yellow on bottom. I only had one slightly uneven wattle out of all of, it was on the Blue Cockerel, and a scar on BLF-3. Earlobe was all good except on the BF-1, I wish hers was a bit redder, but my black cock should be able to fix that.
Only thing I didn't get done was moving the broody inside. I will try and get that done on Tuesday
