Another Mamaw and Maddy silly selfie.

She has an iPad and a wii, and a gazillion board games, but she'd rather be outside playing in the yard.

SCG and Ron, CC here are some pics of the worst ones and y'all are probably right it is likely pox.

these two are the same bird the two sides of his comb.





Not sure if you can tell but the grey hen behind this rooster (her comb is grey and funny looking)
So what do y'all think?

I'd call that comb more purple or even pale than black.
Paratyphoid, spirochetosis, ergotism are possibilities but almost anything that would affect the comb would have other symptoms.
Coccidiosis, lymphoid leucosis and pullorum can cause a pale comb.

SCG...here are some apple tree photos..not sure of what kind they are.
The first photo is soo full, that a branch has broken, and because we can't thin them out, the apples are small on this one. The other tree on the other hand, has nice size apples. They both taste wonderful! Even though the first ones are small, they taste really good. Kids over yesterday, eating apples off of the tree.






We know keeping them trimmed way down will make larger apples, but we only trim very little off each yr. We love the big trees. Still get nice enough apples for our asking.

Cyn, I think some people just thin away half of the blooms to get bigger apples. Someone who actually has some experience with this might wan't to chime in on this one.

Anybody know of any uses for persimmons?

Bama, I think you could make jam or pies with it at least, a cobbler might be nice. Would work in quark too, if you can find that over there.
