Although there are differing opinions about giving rabbits corn of any kind, I would err on the side of caution and say no. Corn is indigestible and if it gets stuck will block the rabbits intestine.
Cracked corn is indeed an energy feed source for livestock. Corn is a high-energy feedstuff no matter how it's processed, and should be treated as such.
Yes, rabbits will eat corn plants.
Yes, corn is good for them. Bread is not a good idea, because it can get stuck in their throat.
Is suggested that if rabbits do eat corn it must be raw. Rabbits also enjoy eating the cobs and the husks of the corn as well.
It's a song -- it's "JIMMY cracked corn, and I don't care." It is a nonsense line about a guy named Jimmy -- he cracked some corn (broke open the kernels to make grits or bread or something) and you don't care that he did.

Yes!
Corn, fresh or dried, is NOT safe for rabbits. The hull of corn kernels is composed of a complex polysaccharide (not cellulose and pectin, of which plant cell walls are more commonly composed, and which a rabbit can digest) which rabbits cannot digest. We know of more than one rabbit who suffered intestinal impactions because of the indigestible corn hulls. After emergency medical treatment, when the poor rabbits finally passed the corn, their fecal pellets were nearly solid corn hulls! Those rabbits were lucky.
I think the song you mean is "Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care." I think it's a folk song.
Layer feed is generally better for adult ducks compared to cracked corn. Layer feed is specifically formulated to meet the nutritional needs of laying ducks, providing essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals for optimal health and egg production. Cracked corn, while a tasty treat, is high in carbohydrates and low in essential nutrients, which can lead to nutritional imbalances if fed as a primary diet. Therefore, layer feed should be the main component of their diet, with cracked corn offered in moderation as a supplement.
A bushel of cracked corn is 56 lbs, which is about 10 gallons (or 2- 5 gallon buckets). So a 55 gallon barrel can hold approx. 5.5 bushels which approx. 308 lbs.
Yes, it is generally safe for dogs to eat cracked corn in moderation as a treat, but it should not be a primary part of their diet. Corn is not easily digestible for dogs and can potentially cause digestive issues if consumed in large amounts. It is important to consult with a veterinarian before introducing any new food into your dog's diet.
