My chickens don't have worms.

Y'all are a bad influence. I've been trying to quell my fall excitement and wait to buy pumpkins until halfway through the month so they don't rot. Practicality is boring.

Our Hens eat pumpkins from inside out. Priceless. They love them. So my thoughts are to now bake them a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! It is a healthy source of vitamins, minerals, protein, and calcium, that the chickens love benefit of an immune support.

I gotta go get my girls a pumpkin at the farm market next week!

Very cool idea for a contest! Our chickens usually get our leftover pumpkins. This summer our son decided to make a squash piñata. Corkscrew into a butternut squash and hung from a tree branch.

It lasted as a few days as entertainment, but later I realized the mistake. My chickens learned to love butternut squash and now peck through the garden fence. Almost every winter squash this year has nibbles.

My chickies eating spaghetti squash! I know it’s not a pumpkin (don’t have a pumpkin for them to eat yet) but I just wanted to show them off!

I picked most of my heirloom pumpkins from vine kinda early this year while they were still green and believe it or not - they actually last a lot longer than you’d think when you don’t carve em
