I buy a Cardinal mix. It's Sunflower seeds, Safflower seeds and Sunflower kernels. It's high in fat, 35 percent.
I mix it with Scratch Grains. Low fat 1.5 percent.
I mix a 7# bag of Cardinal mix into 25# of Scratch.
I scatter a heaping 1/4 cup measure in their pen once a day to my three 2 1/2 year olds. I scatter the same amount to my seven 12 week olds. I give as a midmorning treat. I don't feed any other treats or scraps.
If i were to feed just Sunflower seeds to 4 chickens it would be 1/8 cup per day. GC
This is very helpful. I don't give treats often because I don't want to overfeed them, and there are only 4 of them. And they seem to eat plenty when free ranging. I can do this (or something similar to this) with no problem! Thanks!
