Can chickens eat sweet corn? I assume so but just making sure. If they can, can the corn be eaten cooked as well as raw and do the kernels have to be cracked.
Thanks!

Her is a piece of vital info. They will not eat what is poisonous or not good for them. And yes, they love sweet corn cooked or raw.
(I would also suggest giving them watermelon as a treat. They go crazy for it.)

Chickens love sweet corn. Open a can of corn and watch them go nuts eating it all up.
Cooked or uncooked, they love corn on the cob.
...no it does not need to be cracked, as long as they have access to some form of grit.
Happy happy happy girls....

My chickens LOVE corn on the cob or left over canned corn, but they will not eat cracked corn feed or kernels of corn in scratch feed. I guess they only like it cooked.
Okay..that is interesting. I have seen the same thing as well.
I wonder if the corn heats up their metabolism...they,ll eat it in the winter, but not very much in the spring, and almost not at all in summer.

Yes. Mine won't unless it has salt and lots of butter.
But they have to put their teeth in first.
It's true they can eat it but, it is hard to pry the kernels loose from their braces.
