can chickens eat high moisture corn the kind that u feed to cows? its corn but just really moist. if they can eat dryd cracked feild corn i would think they should be able to eat high moisture corn without harming them

I would think so as long as there is nomold. Now cows on the other hand can eat moldy stuff. Cattle grade hay is horrid. So I would kindof wonder about how mold free the wet corn would be. But really I don't know

I don't think it would be a problem but watch out for fermintation....you might have drunk chickens on your hands.

I'm sure the chickens would be fine eating it in moderation. We throw our old corn cobs out into their run for them to peck at.

Cows however, cannot digest and process corn. They have rumen, different from our stomachs that are made specifically for grass and other field fodder. That doesnt seem to stop people from feeding them corn though. Corn is cheaper to feed them than alfalfa, someone pays the cost somewhere though...

I have found that they will eat most anything. Have also found out, if they don't like it, they don't eat it. If we feed ours something they don't like, they will peck at it a couple times then they are done. It will lay there until it rots, I move it, or the birds eat it.

Just don't feed them Avacados.
