I give my chickens apple cores and whole apples all the time-I don't take out the seeds. Wouldn't it take a lot of apple seeds to hurt a chicken?

Yes, it is right on BYC's treat chart.

"Apple seeds contain cyanide, but not in sufficient quantities to kill."

They helped themselves to the persimmons that fell from our tree this morning... make that every morning. I don't think I'll ever have enough collected for myself to ever bake persimmon pudding at this rate!

50/50 scratch/BOSS today
tomorrow morning I am going to throw the rest of the ripe tomatoes off the vines into the run. After the frost they tasted nasty.

Fed mine fresh cut tendergreens from the garden. I will feed them these until the weather kills them. Hopefully not soon. Its a mixture of mustards and different other greens. They love it. gloria Jean
