Pumpkin for chickens. Cooked or raw?

[msinvestor]

Are the mini pumpkins okay to feed chickens ? I'm a brand new chicken mama of only a few months

Pumpkins, squash, overgrown cukes, zucchini.... other garden veggies. Raw, preferably. If you boil squash, be sure to save the cooking water and the "guts" for the birds. Yesterday, I gave them the cooking water and the skins from a pot of beets. They had a feeding frenzy. Several hours later, a novice would have been convinced that my birds all had a raging infection of coccidiosis.

There's a pretty good list already right here:

Maybe that will give you more ideas.
