not a stupid question at all.
I do not know the correct answer- but I can tell you what works here.
The chicken feed with the layer feed is hanging- of course the girls knock food down, so its possible that the chicks eat layer too,,,but I have dishes on the ground with chick starter that the chicks eat out of..the hens do as well, because its easy pickings. I have oyster shell in dishes for the hens that need it, so hopefully that counters whatever needs they have.
