We just brought a couple dozen home from my SIL's. She grows a huge field every year, then has a huge pumpkin party and lets the kids take how ever many they want. My daughter wants 'em all and takes a lot! She's got tiny pumpkins all over her room and our front porch is covered with 'em.

We're carving some tomorrow evening... can we feed the "guts" of the pumpkins to the girls? Do we have to do anything to the seeds or do we just give them to the girls the way they come out of the pumpkin? And, the tiny pumpkins - are they edible for the chickens?

I run the guts and seeds through my food processor (course chop) along with apple cores, chard, Kale and other nasty veggies and some over-ripe bananas, cooked squash rinds, etc... I have to say it smells quite good and I even caught DD licking the bowl-scraper afterwards. The chickens LOVE< LOVE< LOVE it!

The Net Shed in Seattle

My friend has netting from here - sold by the pound
Call and tell the nice lady measurement and net hole size you need
... shipping is expensive- but you can pick up
netting is heavy and big... definitely need room to transport.
I am planning on using for top of an aviary. Just remember that ice storms can totally demolish netting.

Ogress. That is a great way to feed your chickens. They getting all types of food. WTG!

Reminds me my making discus food years ago.

Discus food? Poured in a pan and dried out to resemble a frisbee?

Can I stick the slop in my dehydrator and make roll-ups for the chickens?


Hmmmm

Oh, maybe Discus fish? (Is there a fish called "discus"? I think I once saw some expensive fish at an Issaquah aquarium store with that name, maybe.)

I was watching over my girls near the bird feeders today when I heard a Douglas squirrel chittering up a storm. I looked over and saw Pengin standing about six inches from the squirrel; her head was just two inches from the ground and she was giving him the stink eye. It didn't help when one of the Belgians interrupted by charging the squirrel.

I wish I had a video camera on the hens earlier today. One of my Barnie's who is going through a particularly unattrative molt decided to make a run for it back to the coop during a brief break in the rain and winds. She was only half-way across a distance of only 20 feet when a huge gust of wind came and blew off many of her remaining feathers like an autum tree! She barely managed to stand her gound, and then went indignantly squaking away to the coop since she had just been stripped in public!

That is SO FUNNY! LOL!
