The definition and abbreviation for Potentially Hazardous Food (Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food) or PHF/TCS should be modified to drop the reference to potentially hazardous food and PHF.
Yes, as a treat apples are fine for chickens. Some will say it is best not to feed them too many apples as the seed of an apple has a small amount of arsenic in it. I have an orchard on my property and in the fall, the chickens run there first thing in the morning. Never had a chicken drop dead under an apple tree.
The birds eat some of our tomatoes. Theyâll laser on a nice red ripe one and peck out a portion of it. The best way Iâve found to deal with this is to pick the tomatoes as soon as they start showing *any* color. Theyâll ripen just fine indoors inside a brown paper bag, and wonât taste any different than vine-ripened.
