No. You cannot feed a chicken a single ingredient food and expect them to live long. Without a mix of grains in their diet a bird will become vitamin and mineral deficient. The first time it becomes just a little sick it will probably die. Corn is great for fattening the bird up but just like a human, if you ate fries and nothing else, you would soon become obese and unhealthy.

Yes, they can, but deer corn is whole kernel corn. It is much harder for the birew to digest in that form. It would be better to feed cracked corn, corn that has gone through at least one stage of a mill. Deer corn is usually fed to deer, cows and other large animals that will chew it to break it up. Chickens, of course, have no teeth, and if a chicken has a choice between whole kernel corn or cracked corn, it instinctively goes for the cracked corn.

I would probably eat the biggest chicken for beginner course. And then I would feed the remaining 3 chickens half of the corn, and eat them for the main course, so that I have a tasty mixture of chicken and corn. And I would then have the remaining second half of corn for desert.
