How much chicken feed?

[booboochickens]

I am using Chick Starter I think it's called. Mum is eating the same stuff as the chicks - it's the one with medication in it. I have 4 baby chicks and a mother hen and giving 3/4 cup in the morning and 3/4 cup at night with water refills too. They seem hungry all of them! I hope I'm not over-feeding them. Any guidelines as to how much I should feed them and how often?

Thanks

Just give them access to food all the time. They won't overeat; they know how much they need. Plus, they need lots of food because they're growing. I always offer chicks food free choice.

Free choice for sure.

Agreed. Fill the bowls and leave them to eat.

Let them self regulate. Makes nicer hens and roosters in the end <---- Something I learned over the last few years

Chicks are constantly growing, and Mama hens are recovering. Let them eat what they want...
