Hatching
Last Spring I bought 5 Buff Orpington's at 3 days old and because of weather they were inside for 10 weeks, where I could keep their food dish always full. Over the last few weeks I have bought 10 chicks and because of nice weather, they are already outside in their new coop (a separate coop from the big birds). Because of my job and such, I am only capable of feeding them twice a day, so I need to make sure that what I'm feeding them at those two times, is adequate. Obviously this year, I have 10 instead of the 5 I had last spring, so I would normally just double the food, but I never kept track of how much I fed the 5, since I tried to just always keep it full. Any suggestion on how much to feed them twice a day would be appreciated. The birds I have are all roughly 6 weeks old and are:
2 Buffs, 2 Bantams, 2 Barred Rocks and 4 Road Island Reds. Thanks!
