Black sunflower seed for chickens?

[Toxicity 321]

Can chickens have black sunflower seed?
We have chickens and pigeons and I was wondering if I can mix a big trash can of food together so I can feed them all the same stuff.

My chickens eat black sunflower seeds.
Especially under the bird feeder, and they will follow me until I give them some also.

Thats Great I just want to have 1 trash can of food instead of 3 to 4
We have 14 Reds, 25 white rocks 4 white king pigeons , 2 dogs 1 cat and a guinea pig and more animals to come in the spring

My local feed store makes their own feed and it has sunflower seeds, and they eat from under the bird feeder as well. I know they can have it, I’m just not sure about things like what % if they diet it should be, and things like that. As long as they have other things that meet all their nutrient needs, it should be fine!

Yes they can have BOSS but as it is higher in fat it should be fed sparingly.
