How much do I feed my chicks?

[chasendon]

Hi everyone, we are new to raising chickens.We have 25 Rhode island reds that are about 3 weeks old. They are just getting there first feathers. I was wondering how much to feed them. we give them a feeder full of fresh food every morning, with fresh clean water. They seem to have no trouble eating all of it before night fall:/. Should we feed them more than once a day?
Thank you,
Newly found mama and papa hens

You should ALWAYS provide them with food and fresh water. They will only eat what they need/want.

We feed our 3 wk old chicks as much as they eat. They grow so fast....

Broilers need to have a controlled amount of feed. Layers and others can have as much as they want.
