Why are ya'll giving cracked or crushed corn ?


I read several places in this forum that stratch DOES NOT have any nutiential value . Stick with the growers for chicks until 16 -18 weeks old and then Laying pellets ....

I have never fed ours cracked or ground corn but I do feed them steamed rice.

mine is for a treat in cold weather. it gives them a heat boost at night for keeping warm.

it does have nutritional value. (it's food.) it is about 10% protein and high in carbs. it's not a complete food source.



if you want something else for boosting heat and carbs, seed wheat is great too.
