How much do baby chicks eat?As a general rule, laying hens will eat about 9-10 pounds of food each in their first 10 weeks.If you have 5 chicks, a 50 lb bag of feed should get you through their growing ages. Make sure you do not switch to a layer feed to early or it can promote early growth that causes problems for the chickens. We use a non-medicated chick starter and start feeding treats after they are a couple weeks old (strawberry tops, lettuce and many raw scraps) If you feed treats, make sure to provide a dish of sand or fine gravel so that they can digest the food. Naturally they would be eating their food from the ground and getting little rocks and sand in the process. We do not feed them anything that was seasoned with salt or any sauces/marinades How much Water do Chickens drink?As with all recommendations, take your specific conditions into consideration and observe your chickens to make sure they get adequate food and water. These are our general guidelines. Newborn chicks to 1 week of age: 3 ounces each per day 1 week chicks to 1 month: 5 ounces of water per day 1 month to 4 months: 10 ounces per day Adult Chickens: 16 ounces per day 1 gallon of water will supply 1 day worth of water for how many chickens? Newborn chicks to 1 week of age: 40 chicks 1 week chicks to 1 month: 25 teenagers 1 month to 4 months: 12 young adults Adult Chickens: 8 adults If you have 4 adult birds and a 5 gallon water bucket drinker, you should only have to fill the drinker about 3 times each month. | |||||
