Other than bagged chicken feed, what/how much other food do you offer?

I am new to chickens and currently have four hens. I keep their crumbled food feeder full at all times. However, I also enjoy taking them lettuce, apples, berries, peaches, watermelon, squash, kale, raw oats, etc. How much of this should I feed them? I take out a plate once daily but I do not want to "over feed" them (even though the stuff is nutritious). Thanks.

If they are laying hens you should not give them citrus fruits because it lowers their production. I learned this the hard way when I gave my laying hens a bunch of under-ripe apples. They did not lay a single eggs for six months!

I do not give any citrus fruits to them. (Apples aren't citrus )
