I apologize if this repeats something but, my girls are constantly hungry. I feed them Layena and am happy with it as they lay everyday and a portion of garden greens and veggie scraps. Just wondering if they need more food or should I maybe cut them back?? I dont have an issue with feeding them more but, dont want to over do it.

Anyone out there have the same issue or any pointers?? I am only a month into my chicken motherhood..... Just looking for advice.

Thanks
 
I don't think it's possible to over feed. If your worried, I would ration thier food...say once in the morning and once at night and a then give a few treats...they will be totally fine! I personally ration my feed, and then once it's gone it's gone...they do also free range. But it also doesn't leave much for pests like mice.
