Feeding Issues.... Need Advise Please

[sourland]

If they're already getting some in the evening just cut out the morning ration of corn completely.

Here's a viable solution. Realistically they do not need the corn, but since it 'feels good to treat them' simply limit the amount/method of feeding.

They've proven that corn doesn't do anything extra for them as far as heat, just make sure they go to bed with full crops of feed.

Honestly if they have free access to the layer and your only tossing a handful of corn and meal worms once or twice a day I think your birds are good. While corn is only 8%, the meal worms are very high in protein so it balances out.

Also you could try a higher protein layer if your worried about it. I just bought a bag of Nutrena hearty hen soy free layer that’s 18%. It’s got probiotics and prebiotics which is good for them too. I’ll post a link to the layer so you can check it out.
