My hens will fight the squirrels for peanuts, and they nicely eat the shells too. Cashews are too expensive here to feed to chickens Lol!

Imp- wished they would grow here.

Very True. I buy the unsalted raw peanuts from the feedstore. Raw peanuts taste like gasoline, so I won't eat them all.

Imp-Some of the neighbors complain about finding peanuts buried in their yards- I keep saying they grow wild here in Washington.

Wonders quietly to myself: Why on earth would buried peanuts be worth complaining over. Gosh don't people have more concerning things in their lives?

Edit to say that I would wonder about cashews because unprocessed cashews have a toxic oily layer. Maybe that is just the unshelled ones.

Isn't that the truth? I guess it's their nature. It's funny- the peanuts will sprout sometimes. I keep thinking I'll try growing them. Maybe this year.

Imp- Just caught on to your name change.

The Wall-Mart near me has big 15lb bags of unsalted roasted peanuts that I buy.

They love them.
