Pumpkin Guts?

Hey, not a bad idea, we'll have to try that. Though I was intending to treat some 12-gauge slugs to pumpkin guts.
Not when you put it that way....ewwww, pumpkin guts.
(just teasing, but no I haven't tried it!)

I haven't tried it, but I bet it would be quite comical. Thanks for the idea!
My chooks get the meat......I get the seeds! Soak 'em in salt water & bake!
Last year, the day after halloween, Wal-mart sold the leftover pumpkins for 10 cents each. I bought a truckload. I got the seeds & the horses & birds got the rest.

You will be doing your flock a favor by giving it to them. Pumpkin is a natural wormer, and they LOVE it.

I gave the guts to mine last year and they loved it. I also cut the whole pumpkins in half and they eat the entire pumpkin and leave just a very thin shell.

Is it the pumpkin or the seeds that is toxic to the worms? I thought it was the seeds, but again today, as in every other time in the past that I have tried to throw the guts to the birds, they gobble up the fleshy part and totally ignore the seeds. I sure hope it is the soft part that they do eat; that would be awesome and solve a puzzle for me. I thought maybe there were pumpkin varieties out there with smaller seeds that I was supposed to be growing. Anyway, it's fun to watch them get their beaks all messy eating the pumpkin inerds.

Mine eat every last morsel I throw out there. The ducks are seed hogs.
