The biggest factor, beyond preparing your squash for storage, is selecting the proper cultivar: some last 3 months, some 6 and, a very few, 12 months. Plan your usage around this.

If you have chickens, they will happily eat anything that that looks like like it is going. Really hard one should be cooked.
