Fred's Hens :
If you ration feed, as I do, you should feed heavy in the morning. If the feed trays are empty in the afternoon, you know they need a bit of additional feed in the afternoon.
Ration feeding requires more "hands on" observation and management.
I also ration feed. I feed less in the morning, they freerange all day, and then have a larger quantity of feed in the evening. I rarely give treats. I have found they try to wander and get in trouble more if they are "full" in the AM.
