Too many sunflower seeds?

[swamphiker]

I have five pullets aged 14-17 weeks that I feed 18% grower along with small snacks of mealworms that I raise. I keep the chickens in the run of their chicken tractor in the mornings and usually let them free range in the afternoon. I don't intentionally feed them sunflower seeds, but they forage under the bird feeder often since the wild birds can be a bit messy. Is this a problem, or am I just worrying over nothing? My birds seem to be doing just fine and I'd like to keep it that way

A little bit of sunflower seeds is fine and yes mine used to snack under the wild bird feeder. Though there might be a risk with wild birds transmitting disease or parasites to them, if they're frequenting that spot.

Nothing to worry about.

I give mine a handful of Black sunflower seeds every day, But I also feed mine seed and not a feed.
