Just like children, it really depends what you feed them and the quality of feed. I feed mine a custom 23% protein feed mixed by the feed mill, basic grower rations with 1% fish meal, 2% de. I also give them free choice of oyster shell and a couple of days a week dog/cat food. Along with that plenty of pasture for them to eat their fill of bugs, goat droppings, table scraps, green bean tips, corn cobs, etc.
The basic feed you buy in the store is really the bare minimum that chickens need for survival, I feel that my birds really benefit with the additional and various types of proteins. They produce more, eat less, act less hungry and seem happier if they have a nice variety of vittles.
Feed your chickens well......
