Sorry, you are misinformed. BOSS is a low protein, high fat food that should be limited to no more than 10% of their total feed. Failure to limit the BOSS they are getting will be harmful to their health. It's like letting a kid have all the candy he wants. Scratch grains in general are a low protein, high fat feed.Just joined and saw this thread and thought I'd mention...my Tommy Boy and Vivienne will Dig through their scratch grain to get to the Black Oil Sunflower Seeds!! Oh Wow how Much they Love it! High in protein and and Excellent sprout starter..which they Really love Oh and my Basil plants
