can chickens eat pumpkin?

 

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

OH yes and they LOVE pumpkin...at least mine do. Just cut if open in half and put it on the ground. They eat it down to the shell

Seeds and all.

Mine got the carvings and guts minus the seeds (those go in the oven!) and they were nearly screaching with delight!

Yea they can have pumpkin but watch out for the eggs afterwards.... They might come out with scary faces on them....LOL

I am going to try this when we carve out pumpkins and make pumpkin pie.(So far they eat about anything I give them!)

Mine love pumpkin. The frost got my pumpkin patched before they were completely turned, so I just toss one in the run, and everyone comes running.
