cracked corn
Broken maize pieces
Cracked corn is dried corn kernels that have been broken into coarse pieces, used primarily as animal feed for poultry and wildlife.
It appears in the folk song "Jimmy Crack Corn": Jimmy crack corn and I don't care.
The cracking makes the corn easier for smaller birds to eat than whole kernels.
