What I have is a rainbow and a red, I think.  I don't have millet, but
would like to have that.  I am thinking of planting some buckwheat as
well, again, for the chickens and of course for the soil.  I am going to
plant stuff like the sorghum and sunflowers right next to the chicken
moat, so that when heads bow, I can just bend them over the interior
fence and allow them to drop into the moat, or allow the chickens to
jump up and grab them, whichever.  A hanging head of sunflower seeds is
like a Poultry Pinata.  (sorry, no tilde in my email that I can figure
out how to use)
