Copdock Mill Mixed Corn

Copdock Mill Mixed Corn is a delicious and nutritious treat for laying hens, made from a perfect blend of wheat and cut maize. Rich in essential fats, protein and fibre, it makes an ideal afternoon treat to complement your hens' main layers pellet ration — keeping them happy, active and in great condition.

Why Feed Mixed Corn to Hens?

Mixed corn encourages natural scratching and foraging behaviour, which is great for hen welfare and mental stimulation. The high energy content of maize also helps hens maintain body warmth during colder months, making it particularly valuable as a late afternoon treat in winter.

How to Feed

Feed a small handful (approximately 20g per hen) in the afternoon, after hens have eaten their main ration of layers pellets. Mixed corn should be fed as a treat only — not as a replacement for a complete layers feed — to avoid diluting the nutritional balance of their diet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I feed mixed corn as a main feed?
No — mixed corn should be fed as a treat supplement alongside a complete layers pellet feed. Feeding too much corn can dilute the protein and calcium content of your hens' diet, which may affect egg production and shell quality.

How much mixed corn should I feed per hen?
A small handful (around 20g) per hen per day in the afternoon is ideal. Always ensure hens have eaten their layers pellets first.

Why feed mixed corn in the afternoon?
Feeding corn in the afternoon gives hens time to digest their main ration first. The energy from maize also helps hens stay warm overnight, which is especially beneficial in winter.

Is mixed corn suitable for all poultry?
Yes — mixed corn is suitable for chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry as a supplementary treat feed.

How should I store mixed corn?
Store in a cool, dry, vermin-proof container. Keep away from moisture to prevent mould growth.
