Carol, I always taste the sunflowers to make sure they are not rancid. I'd sprinkle a teaspoon over their feed and go light with the cat food because of the high salt content. Dog food is lower in salt. Cathryn
HI, we were having some trouble with out chicks pecking too hard, I was advised to add some sunflower hearts to their diet, I was just in walmart and in the " bird" section I saw a large, 7 lb bag of sunflower " pieces" it looked like chopped sun flowers and they also had safflower pieces too, is this what I should be looking for? Can I use these or does it have to say " hearts" ??They also suggested dry cat food as a protein supplement. I tried a small bag and the chicks loved it. About how much of this should they be getting per day, added to their reg feed? we have 34 chicks,
many thanks carol g a new chick mama
