can you give chickens cantalope and watermelon seeds??

I was cutting up a cantalope today and was wondering if it's ok to give it to my chickens in its raw form, I'm also wondering if it's ok to give them watermelon, squash and any other type seed from fruits or vegetables.

All of the above, rinds as well.

n/p enjoy watching them go nuts over the seeds, cucumber ends are also in demand here as well. Haloween pumpkin bits go quick too.

I always leave a little extra on the rind and then cut them into pieces and throw them in the run. Watermelon is the biggest hit at my house, especially when the hens are panting from our Kansas heat!!

Wow, the cantalope seeds barely hit the ground and poof, they disappeared!
