    Rye sprouts for feed. It is surprisingly easy to maintain.

    I have rye, oat and sunflower seed sprouts and my chicken love it! I give it to them before bed. I see there is lots of discussion about it- I find it easy to maintain and it’s better for the summer than just grains.

    Blackoil Sunflower and Safflower Seed

    Ive been noticing a ton of blackoil sunflower seed in stores lately, obviously meant for wild birds. Is both the store-bought blackoil seed and safflower safe for chickens? I was thinking of mixing it or use as a supplement to the chick feed. If so, how many weeks old is safe?
