Seeds

[naadarien]

Are there any seeds that I should NOT feed to my chickies? They are about 8-10 week pullets and they forage.

I have been giving them BOSS, which they love, but wanted to add in other seeds (and we use some in our diet; flax, chia, sesame, etc) so just checking to see if there are any we should not use. I have a couple of books on raising chickens, but they assume we would only use feed and don't go into a lot of detail for treats and side dishes.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I don't know of any offhand that would be a problem for them, at least as long as they are seeds you would eat. Obviously, seeds treated for planting (with antifungals, etc.) would not be a good idea.
