feeding

How much and how often should my chickens be fed?... They are 6 and 7 weeks old?..

The best way to go is to have a trough or feeder. This way, they will always have access to food. Always having food equals a happy chicken! Check out this chicken calculator that calculates how much feed to feed your chickens if you are looking for something more numerical: http://www.chickenwaterer.com/v/vspfiles/assets/Chicken%20Calculator%202/Chicken%20Calculator.htm

Don't forget to always supply them with fresh water!

Chickens do pretty well managing their diet and I have never heard of any chickens who ate too much and exploded (not saying that it doesn't happen)!
