My girls have layer's meal from their feeder which they seem to like and corn mix as a treat at bedtime.  I'm not sure how much corn I should be giving them.  At the moment I fill a small plastic pot with 100g and share that out between the three of them.  Is that about right (I think they'd go on eating it till they popped).

I certainly wouldn't give them any more than that per day, probably less for three birds. Maize is fattening for chickens and as such, isn't good for them much as they do love it.

Thanks argyllie, that's half rations of corn for them from now on! I had my first egg today, it was such a thrill!

Hi mixed corn is given as a treat as you know its a bit like chocolate and kids they will eat as much as they can but has no real goodness and makes them fat  from a previus post i looked on the net and studies said no more than 1% of overal diet should be given, but like most of us our chucks seem to give that sad look as if to say your starving us

About an eggcup full per bird is enough. Great especially in winter before bed as it helps to keep them warm
