Howdy, by accident last year we found out that our chickens liked pumpkins and squash... All I would do was to bust up a pumpkin and they would have a field day.... Does any one else use supplental feed such as pumpkins for other farm critters, if so what kind of pumpkin stores the best to be used for this purpose.  |

One year I had an Atlanticgiant that held out throughout the whole winter and I gave it to a friend that had a Pot Belly Pig  It was in the mud room where it was cool  |

Never tried to feed them pumpkins. Now watermelon, whats not to love on a hot summer day? For a while I was able to get produce Publix was throwing out. The chickens loved it, and I am sure it was good for them, they would go wild for grapes, strawberries, tomatoes, I had it all for them! Some  Saw me loading into the car and went inside whining and complaining, so it all ended.  |

I am not going to grow pumpkins this summer. I am going to double up on Butternut squash. We love it anyway I cook it. Very good source of vitamin A, beta carotene and anti-oxidents.
