Whatever you gave them they seem to like. When they eat they grow...So I'd make sure if they ever wanted to eat it was there for them. Funny thing is I told my wife the other day with our layers, "babe if you want eggs ya have to feed them. No imput no output."

My layers have a gravity fed feeder in their pen that they can eat out of free choice all day.

The problem with these meat birds is they will literally eat themselves to death. If food is put in front of them all day, they will have leg problems and heart issues. You have to ration them and let them run out of food a few times a day. They will literally just lay in front of the feeder all day and eat
