Corn as treat?

[Rorie]

Hi, just wondering if corn should be fed along with layers pellets, or only as a treat?

Thanks

It's really just a treat/scratch grain.

During cold weather, a little cracked corn is essential to them for warmth.

I give it to mine to get them in at night only about a handfull for 2 birds mine get 4 handfulls because I have 8 chickens

Mine get a coffee can full every day or two as a treat. Doesn't have much protein value, but generates a lot of energy which will help keep them warm.
