Hi my favourite chook site. In the chicken mix that I buy to go along with free range foraging, the black sunflower seeds are eaten first. For a few years I've grown sunflowers that produce black sunflower seeds.
However, the chooks don't like my homegrown seeds. Does anyone know why?
There seems to be a smelly oil coating on the homegrown seeds so I am wondering if that has something to do with it. Perhaps they needs roasting? Or picked and sundried?
Any thoughts appreciated,
