Am i feeding enough

[Princess Lay- A]

I have 6 (7 week) chicks, I ferment 1+ 3/4 cups of food in quart mason jar. I feed them 2 mason jars a day which they finish by the afternoon . They free range during the day. Should I be feeding them more of the fermented food being that they finish it all by the afternoon or are they getting enough with the free ranging? How do i know if they're hungry?

If you aren't sure, they likely need more. Chickens are voracious eaters and will eat something when the crop is empty. I would rather that something be a complete feed. Growing chicks especially shouldn't be limited. They need all the nutrition they desire.

When they finish their food, just give them more ordinary chick feed. Fermented food is an option, not a requirement.
