Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I will just buy a bag of BOSS bird seed and feed extra to my chickens!
After reading the extension documents, my plan is to plant in north-south rows and broadcast white clover seed to fix nitrogen for the sunflowers. I also plan to broadcast Bt corn cob (Mosquito Bits unless I can find something cheaper) to prevent and control sunflower moths.
That was so much easier than I expected. Now to transfer it to my calendar and remember to actually do it.

When feeding BOSS to chickens, remember that it is a low protein high fat food. Feed it as a treat only. The total of all treats should not be more than 10% of the total diet.Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I will just buy a bag of BOSS bird seed and feed extra to my chickens!

That sounds like me. I'm a wonderful planner and a terrible implementer...
