"Pumpkin Season" All Natural Chicken Keeping

Pumpkin season is upon us so take advantage. They are the best natural de-wormer there is. We take the opportunity this time of year to trade eggs for pumpkins, from a local farmer. We get his odd or broken pumpkins that would otherwise go to waste, so its a great deal for all involved. The chickens and the goats love them, so its easy to get them to eat as many as I can. When I get to many, I take the time to either freeze or can the extra. This way they get local natural pumpkin year round. The frozen pumpkin is an easy task, simply use ice cube trays, then when done place in freezer bags for summer treats. They love frozen pumpkin on a hot summers day. So take advantage of the neighbors decorations when they are done with them. Guaranteed otherwise they will be tossed with the garbage.
