My RIR loves to pick at the watermelon. My other two girls will only eat it from my hands... spoiled.

How old should chicks be before you offer watermelon?

Just gave mine a few rinds after me and my French Bulldog ate the red part! We ALL happy as 10 toes in a sock!!

Hi, our chicks are a few days away from being 6 months old and we gave them the rind they went crazy for it. I did notice the runny poop later.

Is pineapple flesh safe?

Watermelon consists of a vast array of healthy nutrients, minerals and vitamins which the vine extracts from the ground water, and fills the interior flesh with all sorts of goodies. Particularly as the watermelon ripens, the interior ends up being chock loaded with essential vitamins and nutrients that are similarly great for chickens when it comes to human beings.

WATERMELON IS GOOD FOR HYDRATION.
It is necessary to constantly ensure that your chickens have an appropriate supply of fresh clean water. The chickens constantly require to be able to access a consistent supply and they stop at the water included numerous times every day, simply to keep hydrated on a routine basis.

Yes, probably chickens can eat watermelons but as always said in moderate quantities...
