I raise corn, and chickens also. I grind my ear corn thru a hammer mill, add flakes of alfalfa hay, and soy bean meal. They thrive on it.Dont go very heavy on the bean meal, you dont need protien poisoning! The cob has never been a problem, but my biggest screen is too small at 5/16". The cob is powder.

The flock is still laying well and I have 25 per cent white leghorns, and the rest are Rode Island reds.
