My chickens believe that my mums are for standing on and walking through, which is to be expected, but when I find the broken stems my feathered vandals have left behind, I can’t bring myself to throw them away.
A recent trip with my daughters to a local pumpkin farm provided the inspiration for giving a second life to the broken mums.
Simply cut off the top of a gourd, scoop out the center, add water & fill with flowers.

They're really cool, aren't they?
I wish we had a pumpkin farm here! All those different kinds of squash and gourds would be so cool to see.
Not that I'm aware of.
I love mums, but alas I am terribly allergic to them! However, that is an adorable idea and there are plenty of other flowers that I could use. My little chickens always have to come see what I am doing and 'assist.' If I want some dirt scratched or something edible pecked, they are more than happy to lend a foot or a beak. If I don't want either, too bad!
are there any varieties of gourds you should not feed your chickens
