frogprincess Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Is it all right for chickens to eat tinned sweetcorn? One of the ingredients is salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Rinse it well and it will be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlu Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Mine adore sweetcorn.....altho I've never thought to rinse it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 That's probably why mine hate it. But they do like it on the cob - I've got one of the peanut feeders and just slot it in there - I saw someone else do this so copied the idea. Can't remember who it was, but thankies.

Valkyrie Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Just looked at our tinned corn - just water and corn, no other additives, but it is organic - whether that makes a difference I don't know. So it is possible to get sweetcorn without salt - you just need to check the ingredients before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fur 'n' Feathers Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 We've moved over to thawed out frozen sweetcorn as it's cheaper & doesn't appear to have any addititives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 My girls would bite your hand off for tinned sweetcorn - they love it. I rinse it too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky1 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Our's love it too Green Giant seem to do a number of varieties, only one of which seems to be without sugar or salt (blue banner I think). It's a pity because Tesco amongst others seems to have offers on the other sort Don't they know what my gals like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcatz Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I've started giving mine the tesco mini frozen corn on the cob. I take a couple out of the freezer the night before. Not sure if its cheaper, but I just give them it occasionally as a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 You can get tinned sweetcorn from various places that don't have added salt and sugar - Aldi and Ocado (waitrose) is where I get mine from........and they love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 We've moved over to thawed out frozen sweetcorn as it's cheaper & doesn't appear to have any addititives. Same here, they'll bite your hand off to get some. They love sweet corn nearly as much as grapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
