Do you feed BOSS in the summer?

[Qi Chicken]

Or is it like scratch and you should not feed it when it is so hot out?

 

[laughaha]

Mine get it daily as a treat/supplement

What is BOSS?

Black Oil Sunflower Seeds. They get it as a treat. If I need them to come to a different area all I have to do is shake the container that they are in and they all come running.

Cool. Where do you get them. I always like to know of different treats to give my fuzzy butts. Thanks:

 

[palochknldy]

Any place that carries bird seed. We get ours in the bulk section at the local farm supply store. Only $ .35/lb. A little goes a long way and what a cheap treat that they love!

I feed a little every day and more when they're molting. It seems to help them feather out faster and they look better to me.
