No. Corn is a big part of the daily feed for most chickens. Cracked corn and whole kernels of dried corn are suitable for a chickens diet as long as the bird is big enough to swallow the grain. Very young chicks may need the grain ground down to a smaller size.

Will dog food hurt laying hens?

A little dog food once in a while will not hurt the laying hens, however do not substitute dog food for a balanced layer feed. The layer feed has been formulated to be nutritionally complete and meet the needs of a laying bird with the correct protein, fat and calcium numbers. A full diet of dogfood will cause problems down the line health wise and especially egg wise since it is not formulated for hens.

What do you feed laying hens?

A hen doesn't necessarily have to be fattened up for laying, but they do need to be in very good condition. Laying hens need lots of protein and minerals, a good feed should have at least 13% protein, and it doesn't hurt to add a source of calcium (such as ground oyster shell). The extra calcium helps the hens to lay stronger-shelled eggs.


Will putting crushed red pepper flakes in chicken food hurt chickens?

No Some farmers believe this will induce the hens to lay better but this is an unproven farmers myth. While the red pepper flakes won't hurt the hens it will not do much for the hen as they do not have the same effect on hens as they do on humans.


Will it hurt our bantam hens if there are fertilized by a rhode island red I mean will the eggs be bigger?

You should never incourage a Large Fowl rooster to breed with Bantam hens. He could very seriously damage/hurt the hens, and probably kill them in the process of mating. Breeding a LF male to Bantam females can not make the egg size of the hens bigger. The hen will lay the same size egg all her life.

We have 9 chick hens and 2 male ducks- live together since born it's 6 months later and our peking ducks getting the hens down biting the hens necks.Are they trying to hurt them as chicken never yell.?

No. they are not trying to hurt them. The drakes see the hens as "their flock" they are all coming into mating age. They are trying to make the hens submissive. It will not result in anything but a few ruffled feathers and some loud quakes and clucks but they will catch on soon enough and stop bothering the hens. Getting a rooster will also put an end to the ducks confused cross species behavior.
