I have a question? I have 12 week old 3 sex links and 4 road island reds and was wondering how much should they be eating at this point

They will regulate their amount of eating so can will learn from them - how much is leftover and reduce the amount next day.

It's only meat birds that will eat and eat constantly and may need to be monitored so they live a little longer. They are generally processed at about 8-10 weeks of age their growth is explosive.

Thanks so much for the replay just wasn't sure they were eating enough because there were a little left over.
