Had my chickens for aprox. 5 weeks purchased them as 8 week old pullets from 2 different poultry farmers in Victoria, Australia.
my chickens are
Black Orpingtons with a Silverlaced Windegote rooster
1x ISA Brown hen

not having any real issues except very high food consumption, almost gone through 1st 20kg bag of chicken feed
things im looking at improving are the "water feeder", modifying it too automatically refill to full level from water stored in rainwater tank. And possibly get a larger grain/pellet food dispenser as refilling it every couple days is a little annoying
 
Hello new friend!

Hi! It's nice to have you here!

Grown chickens generally eat about 1/4 lb (.113 kg) of food per day. I'm sure since they are young and growing, they are eating more for now and will slow down once they mature.

It sounds like you are figuring out an efficient operation! I'm sure we would love to see your set-up and solutions for the feed and water.

Thanks for joining and welcome to BackYard Chickens!
