My chickens carve their own Halloween pumpkin! - Fun fall ideas for the flock!

[ChickenShepherd_6116]

This year I decided to try out the trend of letting your chickens carve their own pumpkin. I am also going to be raking up a bunch of fallen leaves and putting them in the run with grubs mixed in for some entertainment and extra protein for my molting girls. I would love to hear what you do for your flock in the Autumn season! Also, how do you prep them for winter as the months get colder? I once heard of someone saving autumn leaves and then giving them to the hens in the winter for entertainment - thoughts?

Here is where I got the idea for the pumpkin:

I should let my chickens carve their own pumpkin and I have 3 different coops so I can give them each one and see how they turn out

This is my first time doing it, but my hens don't seem overly interested in it... I will show pictures of the finished project later!
