Hi i am a 1st time chicken keeper and i have 8 hens and one rooster and i am feeding them a fermented grain mix to my chickens . I just would like to know what is a good ratio to feed them as at the moment i am just pouring it out in to the feed plate until i think there is enough there for them.I am not sure if i am giving them enough or not as they all ways think i am going to feed them when i walk past them in their coop, or is this normal for them to do that?. TIA
 
It is normal for even the best fed chickens to beg treats.
However, they are voracious eaters and need food available all waking hours.
Also, are they just getting a grain blend as their sole feed? They are omnivores and need more than grain.
