Is it ok to feed chickens popcorn kernels that have not been cooked?

It is a grain and will not hurt them. They will not eat things they cannot swallow and an unpopped corn kernel is not much bigger than a piece of cracked corn normally found in hen scratch. And don't worry, the popcorn will not "explode" inside the chicken, it takes much more heat than the chicken can produce to pop popcorn. I often throw my chickens leftover popcorn and never had a problem.

Corn of any kind as long as it has no additives is fine for your chickens. If you are worried that popcorn will "explode" when eaten by your chicken then stop worrying, a chicken cannot produce the heat needed to cause a piece of non cooked popcorn to pop.
