Noop. They sprout really easily, too. And the chickens love 'em! Now, I've only sprouted them, not planted to get the whole growing plant to bear its own seeds, so maybe I typed too early. But they DO sprout really easily!

Not an expert but pretty sure Sunflower seeds are not genetically modified. To the best of my knowledge that is soy corn and now some alfalfa. I think there is a possibility that the seeds are a hybrid and you may get a bit of a weird strain of sunflower. I am not sure of that however, I just know that most seeds nowadays unless some sort of heritage strain are hybridized for a myriad of reasons.

I am sure it would not hurt to try and see what you get on that first generation of stock.

I do know that in my garden virtually all of the plants that come up from hybrid seeds (and if I let them go) bear some rather different looking veggies than the original.
