Um . . . corn/stach is NOT high in fat. And it's very good for chickens. So is fat, for that matter. A diet that is high in just one thing is a bad idea--i.e., cracked corn. But that doesn't make corn bad for them. Personally, I give corn on the cob in cob feeders instead of cracked corn, b/c it's fun for them to eat that way.
I am wondering if there are foods like corn or starchy foods may be bad for the girls.
Foods we feed that may have adverse effects.
Foods we feed that have zero food value or help. Cracked corn I heard is just a filler
Do Chickens have like a high cholesterol?
Fats that gather around the heart that will cause birds to be obese or sickly?
Fried foods or greasy foods or certain oils.
Cholesterol is found only in animal products, and since unlike human beings, chickens are meant to eat large quantities of animal products, they are unlikely to have problems with so-called "bad" cholesterol. Like dogs and cats, who are carnivores, they can handle dietary cholesterol.
Certainly avoid fried foods or anything w/ oil added--those are not REAL foods. Stick with layer pellets with the addition of REAL WHOLE FOODS (like brown rice and other whole grains, vegetables, fruits, raw meat, etc.).
