What do you grow to feed the chickens??

I'll be growing some this year. I grew giant last year, and they didn't seem to be all that excited about them. They loved the milo (sorghum) that I planted for them. That stuff grew 9 feet tall! I'll also be planting some millet, and have already planted some comfrey.

Did the sorghum grow tall and rangey or does it have leaves all the way to the ground? I've been trying to think of what I could grow to be not only something of a wind block but a shade source in the afternoons for one of my pens. I've tried sunflowers and either my green thumb is really black or something else but they didn't do well. I wanted really tall ones so I tried the "Giant" variety but very few of them grew at all.
