Heck, the best way to feed chickens zucchini and squash is to throw it in the coop.  Let them have the fun of doing all the work.  It keeps them busy and entertained.

It takes a really smart chicken to be smarter than no chicken at all.

I

I agree. Why are you doing all that work? I take my giant zucchini and throw it over the pasture fence. The end. Chickens can get at it, don't worry.

 

With watermelons and pumpkins and things with a tough rind like eggplant, I stomp on the fruit and crack it first. No more work needed.

We have a flock of 75-ish hens: Blue Copper Marans, Barred Rock, Red Sex Links, Black Sex Links, Easter Eggers, Tetra Tints, white Leghorns, dark Cornish, various colors of Rocks, some barnyard mixes, and a little Buttercup, who's just here for pretty. 

 

Also 35 broilers plus six Easter Egger cockerels in the meat pen. But they won't be here long.
