    CORN

    hello - We have 15 hens and going into our second summer with them. We feed them corn on the cob and scratch that contains corn for treats. I remember reading somewhere that they shouldn't be fed corn in the hotter months. What temp is too high to give them their corn treats? Thoughts? thanks!
