It's almost that time of year when pumpkins will be sold on every farm stand. Would it be ok to cut them in half and feed, seed inards and all, to the chickens? Pumpkin is a good source of beta-carotene and they keep well in a cool dry place. I was thinking it would be a good food toy in November & December when the weather is bad and would give hours of entertainment. Do you think the seeds are too big for chickens to digest?

Thanks!
