Is cooked sweet corn on the cob ok to give chickens?

[jimmywalt]

We purchased a bunch of sweet corn on the cob this past weekend for dinner. We boiled it all and had too much left. I was wondering if it would be ok to give to the chickens (about 8 weeks old) to eat off the cobb?

Thank you.

Younger chicks don't always know what they like or will like one day. When they are older? Corn on the cob, raw, is one of their favorites.

It certainly won't hurt them but as Freds Hens said they may take a bit to get used to it. Once we gave it to ours and they figured out it tasted good they were nuts for it after that. Just stand back a little if you don't want splattered with corn juice once they catch on to it!

My birds love it raw best...and fresh spinach is also a fav when the grazing gets barren especially.

Boiled corn on the cob, my chicks 9 weeks old love it.

Mine love it raw or steamed. We always seem to have an ear or two leftover from dinner, so it doesn't go to waste.

They also love fresh whole tomatoes and peaches. Just remember to remove the produce stickers!
