I give them the red as well,not just the rinds.

That's what I do, and then I fill it with yogurt or buttermilk mixed with other treats. After that the rind goes into the compost pile, and there are no dishes to wash.

I was about to say the same thing... I slice one up into portions and stick them in the freezer in ziplock bags.

Watermelon rinds=good chicken eats!

My chickens love watermelon, and they get the rinds all summer. In fact, there's a tub of rinds sitting in the fridge right this moment, for tomorrow's treats. I also use cantaloupe and honeydew rinds. Any melon is edible, and the chooks pick the fruit right to the hard outer rind. They would eat that too if they could.

Mine, too! The peel goes in the compost pile.

Great idea! I will do that next time I feed frozen yogurt/bananas to my girls.

Don't forget zucchini! What's not to love? Seeds, pulp, not-too-hard flesh... just smash the big zucchinis and they swarm!

Mine also like gourds.
