Yes, but corn alone will not provide all the nutrients a hen needs for laying eggs and would soon deplete reserve minerals. A free range flock will do fine on corn feed alone as long as they have adequate access to fresh veggies and protein matter like bugs and slugs. Caged chickens will fatten up on a diet of corn but egg laying would eventually cease.

Can rusters lay eggs?

Yes, roosters can lay eggs; however, this statement is misleading as roosters are male chickens and do not lay eggs. Only hens, the female chickens, are capable of laying eggs. If a hen is not fertilized by a rooster, the eggs will not develop into chicks but can still be laid.
