Pumpkins!!! Chickens LOVE Halloween

I gave my girls some of the pumpkin pulp and seeds from when we carved a couple pumpkins. The girls gobbled it up pretty quick so its safe to say they like it!
 
I cooked and canned lots of pumpkins...
first I got big ones for one dollar then later ran into a stand of free ones..
chickens love it...
Chickens should not eat the seeds...don't think they would eat them but they are bad for them...many seeds are...eg apple avacodo grape seeds

Pumpkin seeds are bad for chickens? That's a new one by me. Source?

Pumpkin seeds are fine, people use them as a worming preventative.. Or they try to at least. I believe the lacing on the seed relaxes the scolex which allows for the worms to pass.
 
I gave mine some pumpkin last week, they were not impressed at all, I think I'll try again but this time pop them in the microwave first to soften them up see if that improves the reception.
