As it's a treat I should think that's fine. I have 4 bantams & they don't get much more than that.

Treat it like chocolate to the children as to much is not good but not enough makes them sad. After all its a treat

I always throw a good handful over every night after they have finished eating there tea....(our left overs)

Too much corn and their rears swell and so constrict the vents = poor laying.

Keep the corn as a treat

Layers pellets or mash = better balanced diet and more eggs, or so I believe!
