They usually entertain themselves rolling the cobs around for hours pecking the odd kernel off every now and again.

Mine love it too - Very generous of you!
Maybe you’ll get some lovely eggs back as a thank you!
Dried crushed maize is fed to chooks here which are going to be eaten as it’s quite fattening.
If they put on too much weight then layers usually stop laying, but I guess short term would cause no problems.Last edited by Nicos; 31-08-2022, 03:12 PM.

Don't want to look a complete dufus...
Now picked all worthwhile sweetcorn but still plenty left - too small, bit over ripe, dog earred...
Would chickens eat them?
If so will offer to chap who walks up our path twice a day to do chicken wrangling.
