How much chicken scratch?

[ks6chicks]

It's gotten cold here, so I've started giving my girls chicken scratch at night, in addition to their regular food. How much should I give them? Should I give it to them in the mornings too?

Scratch is a treat, so a small amount occasionally is plenty. It helps to train them to come when called! Cold weather is irrelevant; the whole 'corn for heat' thing is fantasy. Good food, free choice, and blocking wind and wetness, are what they need.

I give a heaping 1/4 cup measure to three 31 month olds as a midmorning treat.
I give the same 1/4 measure to seven 12 week olds.
A fresh complete feed fed free choice and fresh water is best to keep chickens healthy and warm. GC

I have a dozen full grown chickens, I toss in Red Solo cup of scratch into, every day.

I toss out small amounts throughout the yard so all 16 LF and 7 bantams get some.
No more than 1/2 TBSP per bird.
