So, you’re planning on introducing chicks to your coop. What do I feed my chicks? And do I feed my chickens the same thing?
Chicks
From day 1 they have feed constantly in their feeders and I will top up accordingly with as much as they eat. Basically, whatever they eat – I replace. Simple.
Adult Chickens
From say after a few weeks after they start laying and you are getting your gorgeous eggs, I measure out the feed on a daily basis and feed them just that amount. How much? Feed amount will differ per breed but between 2.9oz (80grams) and 4.3oz (120grams) per day. This works for me, the benefits are they have a feeding pattern and routine, it will attract less rodents as all the feed is eaten within a few minutes. I can scatter some feed around outside the coop so the chickens can forage away...
If your chickens are not going to have constant supply of food in the feeder then the question – How many times a day should I feed my chickens? – needs to be answered. I get asked this a lot. Chickens generally eat quite a lot in the morning so breakfast, after you have let them out the coop, is an important time. A feeder trough like mine, as sho...
Why Do Chickens Need Chicken Grit?
If you’re thinking, do my chickens even need chicken grit? The answer is yes. Chickens don’t have teeth, so they use an organ inside them called the gizzard to, in essence, ‘do their chewing’. The grit sits inside the gizzard for a short while to crush up the chicken feed so it can be easily digested. A common question we’re asked is do I need to give my chickens grit if they are free range? – Yes and No. Free range hens generally will find and use small stones. If hens don’t have access to t...

We know it’s important, so what is chicken grit? Grit, as it is referred to are, stones (flint) or shells. [You can buy them from any feed store, but feeding chickens eggshells is an option. Make sure its dried out and crushed up].
Using a feeder, place the desired amount of feed into it, making sure the lid is firmly replaced and that is it sat on flat stable ground so it can’t be knocked over, and out of direct sunlight. Feeding chickens off the floor is also fine, but there are a few downsides including: 1. Difficult if there is snow on the ground 2. Feed gets trodden in, ...
What not to feed chickens, is just as important as what to feed them. I’ve covered in detail in another section on the website, but the basics are here again. Here are the 3 things you absolutely shouldn’tfeed chickens: It sounds obvious but if its not fit for human consumption, its probably not fit for poultry. The phytohemagglutinin in beans is a...
So, now you know how, what and when to feed your chickens. If you’re not setup for backyard chickens yet, here’s a quick shopping list: 1. Feeder 2. Chicken mash/or pellets 3. Grit 4. And of course, a waterer! That’s all the things I use to keep my chickens fed and watered.

Feed Storage Bins - galvanised steel and plastic - for storing poultry feeds and pet food in a dry and vermin proof place.
The fungus that grows in feed can create mycotoxins that can poison your birds and can give your feed an off flavor that your birds will not like. Fungal growth is most likely to occur when the humidity hits 65 percent or higher outside, and 77 degrees or higher. Feed mills are large, vast systems.
Mar 21, 2022 · You also need to make sure no rodents can get at the feed which means investing in metal feed bins which is a very wise move. The design should have tightly fitting lids or if you have an old chest freezer that no longer works, this makes an ideal feed bin that will keep the chicken feed dry and the rodents out.
Feb 28, 2016 · 1. Chicken feeder. What sort of feeder do you need? Chickens are messy eaters and a well-designed feeder will keep food from being scattered around to become sour and attract vermin. Cylinder feeders are widely available – choose one with a partitioned trough to keep waste to a minimum.
