Will chickens still lay if you feed them corn?
Yes, but corn alone will not provide all the nutrients a hen needs for laying eggs and would soon deplete reserve minerals. A free range flock will do fine on corn feed alone as long as they have adequate access to fresh veggies and protein matter like bugs and slugs. Caged chickens will fatten up on a diet of corn but egg laying would eventually cease.
