would this be good for cracking corn for chickens

Well, a third of the corn will be meal, a third will be cracked, and a third will be whole kernels, plus there will be metal powder and fragments mixed in with it. I threw mine in the recycling bin, after trying a few modifications to fix the problems. I eventually bought a Monster Mill, but I had to make new eccentric adjustment knobs to get the gap wide enough for corn.

It may work better on cracked corn than wheat, it doesn't fit together tight enough for Wheat. I was disappointed in the hopper myself. I gave or away.

I would say so. I feed rolled corn to my horse and I grind it up with mine because he is old and doesn't have many teeth left. You can set the plates however close together to get the right size for your chickens.

While this would work it's a little bit of overkill as it was designed for tougher nuts. This is how we do pecans and it works great, especially since you get complete halves most of the time. Hope this helpshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGSR8t0bYRw

Yes. I did the exact same thing with it by grinding a whole chicken. Make sure the knife is sharp of course.

It kept the racoons out of my sweet corn. Chickens would probably fly over the fence. It might keep chickens in if wing feathers are clipped.

it will crack the small ones but I have a hard time keeping the halves in tact. I generally just use those for recipes needing chopped pecans.

I believe so. We haven't used it for meat yet, but it's pretty sturdy so far! I'd probably suggest boneless chicken strips/pieces to be more efficient.

I have used it to grind chicken and turkey, with bones, to make raw pet food. No problems whatsoever! I am sure it will do the job for you!

No, this is the wrong kind of knife for that - it is perfect for cutting tomatoes and citrus. Serrated edges wouldn't work well with chicken breasts. You need a boning knife for that, like this one: J. A Henckels International Classic 5.5-Inch Stainless Steel Boning Knife

it depends on how well you do it, and the shape/position of the crack. for the price I think its worth a try. I would be a bit careful about safety issues though, in case it might fail during use.

Yes, except for the handle. We used it to shell popcorn and it worked great and was also fun to use. I guess if you had a lot of corn to shell it might not be as much fun as we had with it. My husband thought it would not be hard to attach a drill or motor to it.

My guess is you could. The mesh is very fine, would catch any chicken bone easily I would think... I use ours to strain very fine items, like quinoa.

Yes. But go easy. It's a bit poorly made so exessive force may strip the square bolt that holds the knife and plate onto the auger. It can grind chicken leg bones so it should be able to grind nuts with no problem.

I think you can spray this on your corn flacks and be okay. It's a very natural product

Yes, this grinder can be used to crack and grind soybeans. But it is a bit messy to use for that purpose and the hopper is too small.I would recommend the Family Grain Mill or the Country Living Grain Mill for soybeans instead of this one as they can do larger quantitieswith their bigger hoppers. Both of these grain mills are available through Amazon also. Just do a search through the search bar for "grain mill".This one is great for grinding smaller grains to flour, but soybeans may be a bit more than it can handle...

We have no idea, but it does crack Pecans with ease. You might go on a Macadamia Nuts site and talk to someone. Sure wish we could have help you. Good luck.. Joy

As long as its dry sure it will...the key is the corn must be thoroughly dry. If it's not you will have a difficult time grinding the corn...the mill will constantly get clogged. I typically run my corn through twice...once at a course setting and then again at a fine setting so that we can make corn bread...seems to work better if you do this.

I used this nutcracker primarly for the black walnuts. The only cracker that can handle a shell this thick. you will have no problem with cracking pecans.
