I threw my chickens out a WHOLE watermelon, the first one they had ever seen, of course it burst when i threw it on the ground! I even went the extra mile and broke it up in smaller sections .. they anxiously awaited to see what it was .. I moved back to watch they walked over .. looked it over turned up their noses and walked away!!!I've fed all of the above to our chickens at some point in time. They absolutely love them!!! It is a treat for them to eat the left-over parts of the melon off of the rind.
I'm thinking really? That's a GOOD watermelon .. a little over ripe but I've eat many that were (no I'm not a chicken) could that be why they wouldn't touch it?
Do I need to remove it from the yard? Chances of them eating it are slim but I don't want them to "decide" to eat it after it's spoiled?
