Our local grocery store gave us 5 pumpkins the other day so we could feed them to our animals.

| The 5 free pumpkins we got. |
They were just going to throw them away and they knew we would take them. Pumpkin is very good to feed to chickens. They love it and pumpkins are a natural wormer for chickens.
My boys had fun taking a rubber mallet to the pumpkins to break them up for the chickens.

| A lot of good "meat" here for our chickens. |
Hubby wanted some of the fun too so he got out a machete and cut 2 of the pumpkins in half for the pigs.
 |
| Here he is positioning the 1st pumpkin "just so". |
 |
| What form!!! |
 |
| I know who to call if I need someone beheaded. lol |
We have 3 pens of chickens and 2 pigs so getting exactly 5 pumpkins really worked out for us.

| Our Rooster, a white Polish chicken. |

If you have any left over cukes, gourds, squash or pumpkins, give me a call. We'll gladly take them. ;-)
