BOSS with or w/o shells?

I didn't know they came without the shells.

I've seen them at a convenience store for human consumption. But never at a feed store. I'm sticking to the shells.

I buy shelled sunflower seed for my feeder because I don't want the mess of shells under it--just made a home for mice which will bring in predators--but chickens don't pick out the meat and discard the shell so they get the whole thing and what comes out of them is not a problem. The last time I bought shelled seed it was $48 for a 40lb bag--the stuff in shells is $13 for the same size.

With shells. They eat 'em without shelling them - why pay more for just the seeds?
