If they have grit, yes. I would not give them more than they will eat in 10 to 20 minutes, but that much will not hurt them. They may be afraid of it for a while, but if one ever gets the courage up to try it, they will all be eating it.

Funny you should say that. I was going to comment on this request with "my baby chicks were terrified of it. Hysterically funny. It took them a few days of looking at the cob in the corner before one of them got up the courage to try it. Now it is their favorite snack, in moderation"
