My partner has some crab apples and he was happily throwing them into the chicken bit of the garden and then came to me saying " I think I just killed one by throwing an apple" I qestioned him about it and went to inspect and saw the chicken rock solid floating in the pond!!! why did you throw them without looking? never mind, shes gone now...we dispatched the chicken after fishing her out and then took the dogs for a walk but durring the walk I had to confess that I had thrown several bits of bread into the pond first thing in the morning and one chicken must have been so tempted and fell in...so my fault!! sorry Steve..but don't throw apples just in case!!!!
