• Baked and Softened Goodness Baking pumpkin softens the flesh, making it even easier for your chickens to digest and enjoy, especially if you have older birds.
• Treat Type: Baked or roasted pumpkin chunks.
• Why Chickens Love It: The soft, sweet flesh is irresistible. It’ s warm and comforting, especially on a chilly day.
• Recipe Idea: Autumnal Mash
• Ingredients: 1 medium pumpkin or squash, water.
• Instructions: Wash the pumpkin, cut it into manageable pieces, and remove the seeds( you can save these for other treats).
• Place the pumpkin chunks on a baking sheet, adding a small amount of water to the bottom of the pan to help steam and soften the pumpkin.
• Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit( 190 degrees Celsius) until the flesh is very soft when pierced with a fork( about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on size).
• Let cool completely. Once cool, scoop out the soft flesh and lightly mash it with a fork. You can serve this warm( but not hot) or at room temperature. Offer in a shallow dish for easy access.
The beauty of pumpkins for chickens is its versatility.
• Seed and Grain Energy Bites
Pumpkin seeds are a valuable component and combining them with other beneficial grains makes for a satisfying and nutritious snack.
• Treat Type: Seed and grain mix incorporating pumpkin or pumpkin seeds.
• Why Chickens Love It: It ' s a high-energy snack that ' s easy to peck at and provides a textural variety.
• Recipe Idea: Harvest Seed Scatter
• Ingredients: 1 cup fresh or dried pumpkin seeds( plain, unsalted), 1 / 2 cup rolled oats, 1 / 4 cup black oil sunflower seeds( chickensafe), 1 / 4 cup cracked corn.
• Instructions: If using fresh pumpkin seeds, rinse them well to remove pulp and spread them on a baking sheet to dry thoroughly( or lightly toast them in a low oven until crisp, ensure they are not salted or oiled).
• Once dry / toasted, combine the pumpkin seeds with the rolled oats, black oil sunflower seeds and cracked corn in a bowl. Mix well. Scatter a small handful of this mix in their run for a fun foraging activity. This is best as an occasional treat due to its higher fat content.
A Few Final Pointers:
• Moderation is Key: Treats should always make up a small portion( no more than 10 %) of your chickens ' total diet. Their primary nutrition should always come from a high-quality layer feed.
• Fresh is Best: Only offer fresh, unspoiled pumpkin. Remove any uneaten portions promptly to prevent mold, pests or predators.
• No Sugar, No Spices: Never give your chickens pumpkin pie filling or any pumpkin prepared with added sugars, salts or spices, as these can be harmful to their digestive systems.
• Variety Is the Spice of Life: While pumpkin is fantastic, remember to offer a variety of safe fruits and vegetables to ensure a well-rounded diet.
Embracing the bounty of the autumn season with pumpkins for your flock is a simple, joyful way to boost their health, keep them entertained and add a touch of seasonal festivity to your backyard coop.
