Frequently Asked Questions About Cracked Corn

What is cracked corn and how is it different from whole corn?

Cracked corn (also known as kibbled grit or cracked maize) is whole corn kernels that have been mechanically broken into smaller pieces. Unlike whole corn, cracked corn is easier for poultry to eat and digest, making it an ideal scratch grain for chickens, ducks, and other birds. Our cracked corn is milled from clean, Australian-grown maize at Kondos Mills.

Is cracked corn good for chickens?

Cracked corn is an excellent high-energy feed for chickens. It provides around 13-14 MJ/kg of metabolisable energy and is highly palatable. Use it as a scratch grain supplement alongside a balanced layer feed. Scatter 30-50g per bird per day for backyard chickens, or include up to 20% in commercial layer rations.
