Corn problems

Hello, and welcome to BYC.

No reason to supplement with corn when the first ingredient in most poultry feeds is corn. If it's just a little bit, feed it to the deer and squirrels instead.

Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

Even though corn is packed with nutrients for a chicken, it's low on protein. It's okay as a treat as long as you don't provide too much. Keep your treats to less than 10% of their total diet.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Definitely feed corn sparingly, it's like candy, and provides little nutrients. It can help them keep warmer in the winter however, get some already cracked corn and scatter the tiniest handful for all of them. Welcome to our community!

I bought my girls corn [for a change). They won’t eat it. I should have bought crushed corn. Now I’m sitting on the cement floor crushing the corn with a hammer, with the corn flying everywhere. I don’t want to waste it. HELP.

I can not image going to all that trouble of crushing it ...feed the squirrels or ducks or find some one to trade it with and give them scratch it has the cracked corn in it.

A belated welcome to BYC. Try the corn in the bird feeders for the squirrels.
