Chickens and pumpkins

Post: # 213097Post grubbysoles »

Hi,

Today I'm planning the Pumpkin Carving Spectacular with my children. I was just wondering - the stringy pulp that we scoop out from the pumpkins, and all the seeds - can I just chuck all this in for the chickens to devour? Will it make them ill in any way? I know I should do something worthy, like make pumpkin cupcakes, but I can't be bothered. It would be much easier if the hens could just clear it all up for me :iconbiggrin:

Thanks!!

Our neighbours grow loads of pumpkins and always feed them to their chooks. Yours will love it!
