I have a dear elderly friend that gives me shelled black walnuts often. We've been friends for 35 years, guess she forgot that I can't stand 'em. So I smile, tell her thanks and give her a couple dozen eggs.
This jar is labeled 12/2010, so they've been in her freezer a couple years. DS#1 said they didn't taste good, so it sounds like they're rancid. I was going to throw them out to the compost, chicken run, anywhere outside, but somewhere I remember reading that black walnuts are not good for chickens and peafowl. I have both and don't want to poison them. I don't feed my hens moldy food, but when they free range, they have access to the composting area. Same with the peacock.
Anyone know for sure?

I heard you can kill a pond full of fish with them just by tossing them in the water when they're green. Easy way to clean out a pond
