Not an emergency just a question

My chicken ate to much pumpkin and I can’t say for certain but I think she threw up. It’s not poop so vomit is my next guess. Is this like people and sometimes ya just puke? Or do I need to keep an eye on her?

You sure it came out of the front end?

I can’t say for sure. I can see seeds in it and grass. The entire flock is acting normal ...they didn’t leave anything but the pumpkin shell.

That looks pretty normal under the conditions you've outlined Incidentally, if you don't want pumpkin growing in that spot, gather up those seeds, poop and all and move them to a location that you would rather that they grow. I wouldn't even mess with digging a hole for the seed unless you think they might revisit them.

It will grow a pumpkin???!!

If there's an intact seed in there, it might.
But the birds will likely gobble up any sprouts.

I’m not gona lie... that’s exciting May I ask another question? One of my hens comb suddenly turned pale this evening. She has been laying eggs for about a week. I don’t think she laid one today. Her wattles are bright red and don’t match her comb. Is is possible she has an egg getting ready? I worry constantly about these chickens!
