BeckyBoo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi there, can chooks have the seeds from the squash I've just chopped up? I know they LOVE melon seeds but wasn't sure about squash seeds - I've kept some to grow but there's loads left. And is raw OK or should I cook them somehow?

Martin B Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Mine have had pumpkin seeds in the past and they loved them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Excellent! Thanks Martin, just off for wellies, coat, scarf, no point in taking a brolly - I'd be off like Mary Poppins, then I'll go and deliver the seeds Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I had a quarter of a squash left over the other day and just put it all in the run. On the first day they just ate the seeds but now all that's left is the skin (which will stay there until i can be bothered to get the rake and retrieve it!)

hillfamily Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 My girls are just finishing off the last of last years pumpkins we grew. They love them, seeds and all. I just chop it in half and fling it in the run Keeps them amused for ages Hope you didn't get blown away Mrs B :anxious: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I do that with surplus pumpkins, they love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I've read that pumpkin seeds are good for treating worms as a natural remedy. You would follow up the next day with carrot (skin) peelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
