Hi I am vert new to the internet and new to this site, can anyone tell me if sweetcorn cobs are ok to give chickens?
thanx

[Aunt Sally]

They certainly are.  The chooks love them but don't over do it or they woun't eat their dinner 

[joyfull]

my girls would take your hand off in their eagerness to get them

Thanks for the reply, are there any other nice foods that they can have ?

[joyfull]

the main part should be their layers pellets which should be available all day. In the late afternoon you can give them just a small treat of mixed corn, or a couple of meal worms, sunflower hearts, or tomatoes, grapes, raw or cooked veg - potatoe should always be cooked - but treats are not necessary really. Take a look at the chicken sections - both the chicken chat and the hen house where you will find loads of information about keepuing and feeding birds and welcome to the wonderful world of chicken keeping

Most chooks love greens as well particularly Kale and cabbage.  Hang a cabbage in the pen it won't last long

I gave mine some apple  pieces and some cabbage hanging up today.  They thought the apple was great  didn't think much of the cabbage though

Mine refuse most treats and even corn they are so-so about. Give them leftover pasta though and they would battle down the back door to get some more from you  They only get pasta here at worming time as I mix the flubenvet into it - but after seven days they are still sat at the back door waiting and wondering why they can't have anymore  The other one they go a little mad for is tomatoes - but that is more the ducks who seem to think tomatoes are the best food ever created and can devour the lot in seconds!
