A complete layers' pellet or mash as the base (around 16-18% protein, formulated for calcium needs during egg-laying), with mixed corn or scraps as an occasional treat rather than the main diet — too many treats dilutes the balanced nutrition of the layers feed.
Yes — hens have no teeth and use grit stored in the gizzard to grind food, so free access to insoluble grit (plus separate soluble oyster shell for calcium) alongside layers pellets is standard practice, not optional.
