zuccini

[vegie chicken]

i grow this crop well in my area and get left over ones that i dont have room for

i cut it up an give it to my chooks as a part of their diet and all of what is left is green rings the next day

they love it

That's been my experience too, Vegie Chicken.

They also like pumpkins and cucumbers but especially zucchini. Wait a minute! Aren't they "courgettes" in Australia just as they are in the UK :/??

Anyway, pumpkins and zucchini are closely related. Chickens will eat them green but I like to allow them to mature, steam chunks of pumpkins and freeze them in plastic bags for winter snacks.

I bet full grown courgettes, steamed and frozen, would be just as well received.

If you have lots of zucchini, you may want to try zucchini candy. I made some this year and loved it.

Here's the link to the recipe on my blog.
