New chicken mom here.

I do not own an automatic feeder. We have to feed our chicken manually. If I set out too much food though the half inch long ants drag it off. I wish my chicken ate those things. Regardless, welcome to BYC and I would do a morning and evening feed. I hate putting my girls up without a full crop. At least those ants eat the millet(milo) in scratch.

free feeding ... ?
What the hell does this actually mean?
It means to always have feed available, they eat when they are hungry. It's the best way to feed chickens. Hand feeding them at your discretion leads to the lower ranking birds not getting enough to eat.
