Can I feed a green pumpkin to the chickens? Cut it in half and toss it in?

why not if they don't like it you can always just pick it up again and compost it.

The jubilees I have lay in the mud. They can get in the nest box. They dont.

You should experiment with cleaning techniques and incubate those eggs!

wind then. seen that happen.

I seen one shake the other day and a dozen feathers fell out lol

have/did you try using an old tire stuffed with hay ?? Just lay it on the ground ?? That is my current plan for the scovies when they get to that point.

I made them a nest on the ground. they dont use it. Just plop it where ever they stand

ungrateful things. Have you tried putting the "poopy" eggs in what you made so they might get the idea. They after all have bird brains.

True. I had another volunteer plant and the frost got it the other night but there are 2 dark green pumpkins the size of basket balls laying there.

I am more confused then normal. What do I need to buy to kill these things ? The ivermectin didnt work I assume .

The Ivermectin killed the adults, right? You said nothing was crawling on him when you went to check last night.
So, adult mites died, chicken died, mite eggs hatched, baby mites are now looking for something alive to feed on. Hope you treated your nearby chicks.
To kill these mites, if they are still on the dead bird, poultry dust or whatever you have to kill them outright. Raid? You still need to treat all your chickens, because that rooster was surely not the only one with mites. They will feed on treated birds and die. Then you need to retreat in 7 days to kill off any new ones that hatch.
