feeding chickens and popcorn
by AngelinaJellyBeana 24th August 2011, 9:24 am
I had a cupboard clear out yesterday and found an out of date bag of unpopped popcorn. I wondered if I could feed it to the chooks as it is or would it need soaking/popping first?

Beginning of this year. It looks fine, I just don't want it, that's all

Just wondered (I occasionally have found things in my mother's kitchen which have pre-decimal price labels on!!)
The mixed corn I sometimes use for my chickens has maize in it, but it is bits of corn rather than the whole kernel - maybe they prefer it smaller? (Mine usually leave the maize anyway!!)

Chooks eat dry corn no probs.

Isn't corn usually kibbled before feeding to hens?

In Slovakia they just give them whole dried cobs. Doesn't seem to harm them in the slightest.

It was the wholeness of it that I was concerned about as the bits of corn in the feed are chopped up a bit.
I will give them some and see how they get on....might be getting my own popcorn chicken:lol:

You should pop it first, they do love popcorn. This type of corn is different than the cracked corn in scratch and the corn on the cob.
