Will chickens still lay if you feed them corn?
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.
Is wood or stainless steel better for building chicken laying boxes?
Either option, wood or stainless steel, is equally fine for making chicken laying boxes. Wood is often considered easier to work with, building-wise, but it is completely up to you which you prefer. The chickens are fine with either of those, too, so long as you adequately pad the inside with something soft and keep it clean.

Can you raise laying hens in the same pen as horses and Can the horses get sick from the birds in any way?
The last answer was wrong! Horses may trample on the chickens, bird flu or any illness from the chickens may pass on to the horses... Try to move the chickens into a separate pen. horses are fine with chickens but the horses could get a bit adjetated so it would have to be a big clean pen. also it is not that good for chickens to peck at horse poo but it will not make an impacked on the chickens be sure your chickens don't have bird flue Horses have different systems then chickens and cannot contract the bird flu anymore then a human can. Sickness is not the issue. A horse may easily trample a chicken which seriously cuts down on the life span of the chicken.

What do Dominique Chickens eat?
The same as all other breeds of chicken. They should be started on a chick ration that is small enough for them to handle and gradually worked up to regular chicken feed. At laying age they should be put on a laying mash. Chickens are omnivores and will eat bugs,worms,plants and seeds from the garden if allowed to free range. Most table scraps are good treats and otherwise a mix of grains like corn,wheat oats and barley and soybean are all fine for them.

Leave your parakeet alone . . . she knows what she's doing. Parakeets do not place bedding into their nesting boxes, so your pet is fine.
