What is the "Ideal Amout" My Chickies should be eating?

[wawafiveseven]

I have 2 RIRs about 10 weeks. I was wondering what is the ideal amout of feed they should be eating a day. They are on triple duty feed. Thanks!!


P.S. They are not free range and don't know what treats are yet

At 10 weeks? A couple of ounces. A full grown layer will eat 4-6 ounces of feed daily. Since they are still growing and about half mature, there is no "ideal" in this case.

Thank you!
Any suggestions on treats? I don't really like to give them anything but feed in fear of them not wanting their feed but I think it'll definitly make them happy

Green feed.
This means garden/kitchen/produce trimmings. If you think of it as "veggie" - then it counts as 'green feed' for the birds.

But dont toss it to them. Hang it on a string, high enough that they have to stretch and jump a little to get it.
Or put it in a wall basket made of chicken wire.

I give mine almost everything.
