I know that I'll hear it for this advice, but just let your chickens be chickens. Feed and water them twice a day, collect eggs once a day. You may not know a lot about raising chickens, but the chickens have been doing it for years. If one gets sick, do not spend money on vet bills. You can replace the bird for a lot less than one visit to the vet.
You can give them greens. I use the weeds I trim from the yard. They love them and they cost nothing.
Keep saying to yourself, "They are NOT pets. They are livestock."

See? Told ya I'd hear about it.(I love to be proven right.)
By-the-by, snarky is British slang meaning "sarcastic". There was nothing sarcastic in my advice. The OP asked for "chick and chicken care tips ", not pet tips. I gave him the concepts that have worked for me within that framework, since my definition of working is being profitable. Advice is like wine. It affects one only if taken.
