Nutritional Needs of Chickens
Water
Clean, fresh water must be available at all times. In warmer weather, check water often throughout the day. For colder weather, a way to heat the water is recommended if the area has freezing temperatures.
Feed
It is recommended to mix feed, using a mixture of equal parts of whole corn, and oats, with a dash of fine pebbles (necessary for digestion). Chickens generally self-regulate their food intake. However, if you notice the chicken is exceeding his/her normal weight, restrict the amount of feed per day.
Leafy Greens are healthy needs of your chicken. Fresh pasture provides fine greens for a chicken. Chickens also enjoy fruit treats, but should be kept to a minimum.
