Well, my newest chicks have received their first pumpkin, and my older hens have received their second pumpkin. What a difference to see how the older girls went to town immediately, and the new girls I had to sit in there and look at it. I was trying to get them to eat the pumpkin. But nope. Then when they did woo hoo be prepared, the videos are so CUTE!!!
