Chickens love apples.

I agree our birds adore having them.

Chickens love apples.

I gave mine too many one time and it gave them the runs. One apple every so often is all they get.

What great photos you took!! Have you discovered what they all are?

Here's the spore print I took from one of the mushrooms. Looks like the spores are yellow, but I'm not sure. It's hard to see.

Have you thought about getting a book on them.
I know Ma had one no idea where it ended after she passed.
I am allergic as heck cannot tough them.

I think I have a Pacific NW mushroom book somewhere. But searching on the internet works too.

I got up on the roof today and spread around some Corry's Moss B Ware. Two cans treated my entire roof, $11 a can. There's not much moss up there, but some is starting to grow. Figured it would be good preventive maintenance to keep the moss in check.

I have had 2 good egg laying summers with my 8 hens. This is my first flock, so I am interested to see how much the egg laying will slow down next summer.

My wife and I are thinking about renewing the flock and moving the older hens to a seperate run for their retirement.

I live in Gig Harbor, WA. Does anyone have recommendations for local farms to get Black Marans?

I currently have:
2 barred rocks
2 blue saphires
2 olive eggers
2 easter eggers
