exactly how much per chicken per day

I also feed mine free choice. Their feeders stay filled all of the time so they can eat what they want.

Using the word "exactly" for anything to do with chickens is a waste of effort.

But, what the others said. Let 'em eat. There's plenty of threads with people giving input on how much feed (and $$) they go through per bird, if that's what you're looking to estimate.

Wow, I've got some chow hounds then... I have 13 right now... I free feed also, but they are going through a good deal more than that... just going by how fast I go through a 50 lb bag of pellets...
 
That's really a difficult question to answer because it can depend on many factors such as the breed of bird, age of bird, environment (they'll eat more in cold than hot weather), and whether or not they get to free-range.

Generally speaking however, 4-5 ounces of feed per bird per day is sufficient.

God Bless,
