Peachy77 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Got a couple of pumkpins at the weekend for the girls. Are they ok to eat the seeds to? Was just going to cut a few holes in it for them to eat whatever they wanted to of it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 They LOVE pumpkins, I just put one in whole, but expose a bit of the flesh, and they sort it out themselves The seeds are a natural wormer and are fine, even my tiny silkie likes eating the seeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Mine love it......had to chop up the seeds to make pecking them easier for the little madams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 In fact, if you look at my webcam, they are just finishing one now Its now in 2 parts but still being enjoyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cordelia Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I wonder if they like two melons ????? (mother who failed to buy pumpkins for her children before the shop sold out ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cordelia Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 LOL...well they were quite proud of them, but all the family have laughed when they've seen the yellow imposters at the front door... I'll try them with the chickens.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy77 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hace cut three triangle holes in it (one for each chicken - lol !!!) and put it in the run. They are now in hiding at the other end of the run Will see how long it takes for them to go and investigate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I put my pirate themed pumpkins in the run on Sunday and the hens were so terrified they wouldn't walk past it to get out of the run for over an hour! They liked the scooped out innards but haven't made much impression on the flesh. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I have just cut mine in half and given it two them on two different days, all I have been left with is a nice pumpkin coloured bowl So I think they are a hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachy77 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 After leaving the pumpkin in the run for an hour the other day and them hiding under the cube, I took it out, and just left it by the outside of the run door. Put it back in yesterday, and they are now starting to show some interest in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
