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.
In the popcorn industry, unpopped kernels are known as "old-maids".
No, popcorn kernels cannot be planted to grow popcorn plants. Popcorn kernels are the seeds of a specific type of corn that has been bred to pop when heated, but they will not grow into popcorn plants if planted.
No, popcorn kernels will not grow if planted in soil. Popcorn kernels are a type of corn that has been dried and processed for popping, not a seed that will sprout and grow into a plant.

Different bags mean different ages and storage places. They could of been made with different things and older things. All popcorn bags are different might have less kernels or less unpopped kernels when u cook it. I am doing a science fair project and I'm doing it on, "Does the different brands of popcorn affect the total of unpopped kernels?" I have a lot of info that you can see above. You think there is no a lot of info but go to Google and type in, "does different types of popcorn affect the total of unpopped kernels and look. One thing that makes a difference is amount of popcorn in the bag, how much time you put it in for, and the most important is INGREDIENTS. This girl did something like this and she said palm oil makes a difference. The smallest things make the biggest differences.
Since popcorn was corn to begin with, and corn is a monocot, then "popcorn" is a monocot, although it won't grow into one if its already been cooked.

Popcorn has been around for thousands of years, with evidence of popcorn dating back to around 3600 BCE in Mexico. It was first discovered by indigenous peoples in the Americas who would pop corn kernels over fires. The modern method of popping popcorn using heat was popularized in the 19th century.
