Yellow crookneck squash can you eat them? pics now

[GopherBoyFarms]

well the chickens ate most of our garden this year (there will be a fence around the garden next year)

But I do have some Yellow crookneck squash that the girls dont seem to touch. I didnt even know I planted this.
I am wondering can you eat these? or are they just decoration. And if you can eat them anyone have a recipe??

If it is squash you can eat it. This is the kind of squash we like here. I like to cut it up into bite size pieces and cook it in a pan with butter and onions. Also you can fry it. Are you sure it is squash and not something else?

When crook neck squash are not too big, they cook up just like zucchini (sp??).

If they get too big, you can split them open and the chickens adore the seeds in the center of them.

My MIL always flours it up with salt, pepper, zucchini, and sometimes okra. Toss in some diced onion when it's about 1/2 way done. SO GOOD!

Gotta pic yet?

I've found them to be most tasty if you grill them.

That is a yellow crookneck squash. Is a type of yellow summer squash. Its very edible. I am very jealous.....your garden still looks so good.....mine has started to go by.

oh thank you.....we have 3 small gardens...a HIS a HERS and a KIDS
HIS and KIDS mainly have pumpkins, sunflowers, and corn.
HERS (mine) has/had onions, tomatos, hot peppers, squach, green beans, and herbs. I really wanted to make salsa this year but the chickens ate all but 2 of my tomatoes.

So when can I pick these squach, and can I make soup out of them? Do I use the skins?

I steam mine, put some butter on it & some Johnny's...YUM! My chickens will eat the insides of the yellow squash, if I break them open for them. Otherwise, I think the yellow color may deter them?
