There are a few basic guidelines for feeding chickens.

The more protein you feed your birds the better they will lay for you.

Underfeed your birds and they will start to feather peck the other birds and go off the lay.

An adult bird will eat around 130gms a day and roosters slightly more.

Most auto feeders are not sparrow proof or rodent proof so you're best to feed your birds by hand each day.
