Brielle's Avalon

I saw on Facebook that if you have chickens you can peel a design into a pumpkin and let your chickens do the carving for you. What fun! I tried it.

I bought the pumpkins. I peeled faces on the pumpkins. I put the prepared pumpkins in the chicken coop. I waited.

The chickens waited.

And waited.

And waited.

And still ignoring the pumpkins. Silly chickens!

So finally I took decisive action. I grabbed a large knife and opened the pumpkins for them. At least they’d be interested in the seeds.

Well, maybe…?

A day later and they only ate the seeds from one pumpkin and are again ignoring them. The compost pile has a bit of a new addition. Didn’t work as planned, but it was fun and I got a blog post out of it…not the post I expected but then my chickens do keep surprising me.
