I would think so. My daughter grew sunflowers last year and we fed seeds to the chickens. They were the larger gray-
striped ones though and the chickens did not like them as well as the black oil sunflower seeds. I may try and grow different sunflowers this year. Last year she grew Russian Mammoths, I think.
I gave my chickens a pork roast bone yesterday.They picked it CLEAN- as in it looked like there had never been any meat on it and it had bleached in the sun!

I think i just got some Russian mammoths seeds too....maybe ill just grow them to be pretty and get a different kind for feeding.
We eat alot of venison so we always have bones to pick over, game meat is ok too I presume? Must be funny to see them pick at a bone like a dog..lol I cant wait to get my little guys but I have to wait til May 12 (mypetchicken)

As far as I know they can eat whatever kind of meat. My dogs and cats resent the fact that the chickens get the bones I think, but they do a better job of not wasting a bit and not making a mess by dragging it everywhere! Besides, the dogs and cats get any leftovet fat, so they are not left out.

I started worrying that I was giving too many treats, so now they get treats in the morning and I make them warmed chick crumble mash with dried mealworms for a bedtime snack…..they are so spoiled!
