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.
