kept enough pullets and still have some adult hens that are still laying and keeping me in eggs. even had enough to do the devilled eggs for thanksgiving dinner. I hate buying store eggs.
on the corn, I stopped feeding it to my dogs long ago. they get a lamb and rice or chicken and rice formula. no problems and no vet bills.
corn for chickens and pigs is another matter. I buy a couple hundred lbs. of local grown gmo dent corn at a good price direct from the farmer. I like to finish the hogs before butchering, on this corn, for a few weeks. I also feed to all my chickens in the fall when moulting occurs and egg production drops. I also grow an heirloom blue popcorn that I use for feed supplements that has a higher protein than the dent corn. the chickens do very well on it.
