791. 28. 133. New Salisbury, Indiana, First flock. I throw the seeds in the blender then add the ground seeds to some water and simmer awhile on the stove add some oatmeal allow to cool and feed to the chickens. Sometimes I cook the pumpkin pulp and throw the softened pulp in the blender along with the seeds and feed that to the chickens.

I make a spicy spanish rice with tomatos,onion, bell peppers, rice and hamburger. I slice the zucchini long ways and score the skin then hallow it out and stuff it. I bake it for about an hour then top with cheese. Whatever is left microwaves well. That was before I had chickens.

Sure, it has sugar and salt. However, it’s not high enough to be worried about. Other chicken treats contain much more sugar or salt. The cabbage has a few parts. However, you don’t have to worry about that. You can give them every portion. The rib and the core might be a little tough, but your chickens can eat them.
