So you have got your chickens and currently you are questioning exactly what to feed them? A good concern, to which the apparent response is: food.
But just what, I hear you cry, do chickens eat? We could answer that question by first of all learning just how they eat.
european poultry are omnivores, which is a Latin acceptation "to devour".
Ominous animals are in the main opportunistic eaters, which implies that they will eat anything that comes in handy or seems appealing at the time. Very much like you and I actually. What ever before takes their fancy?

The factor for this is that you do not desire stale or outdated food and an active shop will certainly have a good turn over of food stock ... never buy poultry food that gets on sale due to the fact that the reason that it gets on sale is because even more after that likely it is aging. Also do not buy excessive food simultaneously so that it winds up going sour in your shop.

When feeding your table scraps to your hens do make certain that you do not feed them any type of meat.
