Have been splitting open my spare marrows for my chooks. Up until now I have been scrapping out the seeds (thinking that they might not be a good idea for them) does anyone know if its ok for them to eat the seeds as well

Mine have had no ill effects from pumkin seeds fed to them (another sqash).

I have loads of 'failed' marrows, like they didn't get over 40lbs and the hens love the seeds.

Unless the split marrow is hung up, they don't eat nearly as much as when it's just left on the ground.
