Freezing corn on the cob

[Grammahen]

My chickens love it when I throw a cob of corn in their pen husk and all. I takes them a bit to get the husk off and gives them something to do. Can I freeze a bunch of corn right in their husk? Use freezer bags? Will that work?
Thanks!

It might work but I would boil it and freeze it whole after cooking.

yes you can freeze it in the husks without boiling it and it will be fine

 

[chickendude]

Or do you give it to them uncooked? If you do it uncooked then I say it should work fine.

Thanks everyone, I will try it. Yes, I do give it to them uncooked. They love it!
Thanks again!

I've often given COTC to mine, but never in the husks; just never thought of it. I guess it didn't occur to me that they COULD get to it if they were industrious enough... I'll try the in-husk style next time!

how's about drying it and then throwing it to them??? hang the cobs somewhere and you'll have a winter's worth of fun treats



we are lucky to know folks how farm huge plots and they let us gleen in the fields after they are done combining - we get TONS of whole cobs. its a great way to keep the flock busy in winter
