[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4770841, member: 1409"] I don't think poults go for the corn as much as their momma, but they do learn to eat it simply by watching their momma. The bigger problem (for poults) may [u]typically[/u] [i]NOT[/i] be their eating the corn, but simply their following their momma to the feeding station where they're more vulnerable to predation. Also, if they're spending more time around a feeder, it can comprise their diet of insects, since they could be eating up most of what's there in a small area, rather than feeding for bugs over a large area (more as nature intended). And like the man from Mississippi stated, if the poults are eating more corn and getting less protein because of that, the corn feeding absolutely is negatively effecting their muscle development, making them more vulnerable to everything.
