Pumpkin Recipe for Worming your Chickens


This is a quick and easy post. During the Early Summer and part of Spring I find it hard to get fresh pumpkins. I do however get Organic Pumpkin Pure Puree. I found with much time and effort that my chickens do not want pumpkin mush. I could not find anything to mix it with that I could sneak it by them. Needing the real thing nothing dry or dehydrated I made up a little recipe of pumpkin and added different herbs or veggie chopped up super find and freeze it in ice cube trays. Easy and nice to give them during the hot months here in So Cal. 





The ingredients are very simple you will need a can of all natural Pumpkin Puree and some ruffage to add to it. I also use parsley, dill and other herbs from the garden. 


You will need a ice cube tray. These are easily found and purchased at any dollar tree or 99 cent store. I have a few for freezing chopped garlic, ginger, jalapeno the list goes on and on.


Chop your fresh ingredients first. I chopped some fresh carrot's from the garden as well as parsley.

Now get your pumpkin puree into a bowl and add the rest of your ingredients. 



Mix it well 





Then you will put this into your ice cube trays. Gather all your ingredients and your ice cube trays. 





The process is so simple fill the trays and smoosh the ingredients into the trays and 
then scrape any extra from the top. 




Put them into the freezer once frozen I pop them into a mason
jar and return to the freezer until it is time to use them. I have a couple of chicken that will not touch them but during the time of year when pumpkins are not plenty and also when it is hot they love them.
