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

Howdy and welcome!!!
Yep sounds like owning critters

Hello & Welcome To BYC! I have a gravity feeder, which is a simple tote with a lid, elevated off the ground with cinder blocks, with "tubes" (from Amazon) screwed into the sides. I don't have pics of my feeder, but I found some pics on Pinterest that look exactly like it

The tubes look like this

Since I have 2 roos with big combs and wattles that cannot fit into those tubes, I provide easily accessible feed on the side in a regular ol' gravity feeder with a twist-top

Welcome to BYC! Growing chickens are definitely great eaters, no doubt about that. Good luck with the new feeder and waterer!
