Chickens and corn ?

[Daffy]

so for the first time some random chickens joined my little place and oh man they are eating a lot of food ...... so i made them a allowed zone outside my main food freezer they got plenty of room and a seperate storage for food for them i planted Heygrass whwre they *live* and they eat it just fine but for backup i gave them a pile of corn as it last a long time even without being frozen but i noted that a lot of the chickens get food poisening when eating corn like 4-6 every day out of the 20 i got .. is this intended ? or am i missing something ... surely they can eat raw corn ?

They should be able to but if the corn is on a dirt ground that will increase the chance of food poisoning, consider putting it on a wooden floor if it isn't already?

That was the problem .. had no floor on the ground where the corn was stored ... thanks !
