I can not think of any reason why you can't feed Wombok, as for Corn on the cob.
Feeding corn on the cob is a great food especially pairs feeding young.
I buy the cheap unmarked brands of frozen cobetts and simply push them onto a nail.
At times within a couple of hours the cob has been stripped bare,the birds then fossick under looking for dropped pieces.
As for dried cracked corn I would even feed that to the chooks,too hard and too many sharp edges when cracked.
Possibly soaked would be OK

Mine love wombok and when its cheap thats the main green veg for them , they love corn also but I had a bad experience with a quarrion that pigged out and ended up with a blocked gut , on top of that she was unable to pass an egg due to the blockage and thus became eggbound .....nearly lost her thank god for a vet nurse who was "interested " in avian health .
Now they get the leftovers from the steamer and only a teaspoom full if that.
