We got peanuts too this year. SESE had something that looked delicious at the time. Never order seeds or plants while you’re hungry! That’s how I ended up with 6 new tomato varieties. And a dwarf tangerine tree. And 2 new fig trees. And the Cha-Cha chive plant.

I’m still looking for black oil sunflower seeds. Supposedly chickens love BOSS. (and deer and other critters too)

I've got the big eating sunflower seeds, but around here they sell the little Russian oil seeds in bags for bird feeders. I grew those last year, and MAY grow some this year, if I survive the next week.

There's no "supposedly" about it. Don't let them see the bag unless you're wearing body armor. ;)

I was looking for them too, a few weeks ago, and saw them at Bountiful gardens.

I decided to go with Grey Striped seed instead, as our chickens & wild birds get them in their grain mixes, and eat them just as readily as the black oil seeds. Both are very nutritious, if you don’t need to feed the extra oil calories.

They do . My chickens will line up at the gate and fly over it ... they sneak out to raid my neighbors bird feeder for the sunflower seeds after they see her fill the one she sets on the ground .

If you can can't find the seeds grab some out of a bag of bird food.
