Feeds are formulated to meet chickens' nutritional needs at different ages. Starter feeds are for chicks, grower feeds are for adolescent chickens, and layer feeds are for egg-laying chickens. Chickens require protein, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals daily. Feeding management is also important - ensure adequate feeder space and constant access to feed and water to support productivity and health. Table scraps can be given occasionally but too much may impact productivity.
