I change the feed on a daily basis. I have mine in containers and first I give them what I think they need, then some scratch for fun. So one day I may give them flock raiser, then the next 16% and then another day gamebird or some cat food mixed in.
Mine are all healthy and nicely feathered. I don't worry about proportions, I just scoop and feed and they don't waste it because they are hungry. When it is gone I let them out to free range for the day.
Then before bed I give them somemore depending on how cold and how hungry they act. I also take a look at their crops. If they are stuffed--they go right to bed with no extra food. I like them hungry so no waste.
On really cold nights I reverse it and give them just a little in the morning, free range and stuff them before bed.
