In most parts of the US, I think chickens require food in addition to what they can find by foraging for themselves. I don't imagine our "forefathers" were buying it at Tractor Supply, but were providing something. Most likely, it included things they produced themselves, or things they bought and hauled home with a horse an wagon, or carried home in a bag over their shoulder.
No Tractor Supply? what?
Dude, They didn't feed them much. Personally I don't know what they did, but you don't either. I doubt the early americans were hiking miles to somewhere to buy bags of chicken feed to carry over their shoulders.
