How to feed your chickens is often one of the first questions that someone might ask as a beginner. Even if you're not new to the hobby of raising chickens, you might still occasionally wonder: How much should I feed my chickens? Can I feed my chickens kitchen scraps? Does it matter what I feed my egg layers or my meat chickens?
The simple answer: It matters what, and how much, you feed your chickens.
The best advice we can give you is to buy the chicken feed that is formulated for the age of your chickens. That's right, there are specific feeds for chicks, growing chickens, and egg layers. Each type of food has varying amounts of certain nutrients that your chickens need for that age. For example, chick starter is high in protein, and egg layer feed is high in calcium for strong egg shells.

Thank you for that info. My uncle has chickens but his problem is that once every week a chic dies. He feeds his chicken with leftover rice.
Thanks for the explanation how to feeding the chicken. Appreciate your blog!
Feeding chickens is almost as easy as watering them.
If you have access to grain then you can feed that to them. Whenever you make food with lots of scraps (peelings and bits of vegetables that humans shouldn't eat) then feed those to them. Chickens can be trained so well if they see a small bucket (for carrying chicken scraps) they get excited because a treat is coming. You can feed your chickens in a trough, appropriate sized container, or by scattering the food on the ground. You can even give your chickens bones with scraps of meat on them. There is very little that they won't eat.
The only way to become a successful Poultry Keeper, is to find and use quality feed, vaccination and medication.
Any Poultry Keeper that thinks he/she can feed the birds with any thing called feed is planning to fail.
Summarily, I make bold to say that what you feed your chicks is what you get in return
