The best chicken feeds will vary depending on the life stage, type and purpose of your chickens. Choose from starter, grower, layer, breeder and maintenance feeds to meet the nutritional needs of different life stages. Medicated feeds can help prevent coccidiosis, while supplemental feeds can provide added probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, vitamins and minerals your chickens may need. Chickens also love treats like mealworms, black soldier fly larvae and crickets, so you can give those for taming or training, too!
You should use the amount of chicken feed recommended on the feed package for each bird every day. The average laying hen eats about a quarter pound of food (4 oz.) per day, but how much you feed will depend on the food you choose and the size and breed of your birds. You may need to adjust the amount you feed seasonally, too.
You should change the type of chicken feed when your birds reach different ages. Feed starter feed up to 10 weeks, then switch to a grower feed. At 18 weeks or after the first egg is laid, switch to a layer feed. Your chicken feed package should have some information on feeding, as well.
Yes, chicken and poultry feed does expire, usually within six months. Different types of feed may spoil more quickly or store well for longer than that, so check the package for more information. You will need to store your feed well-sealed in a cool, dry place to help it stay fresh for your chickens.
