You need to know the accurate quantity to feed your birds daily that will both maintain their health and add to their weight.

*Tips For Feeding Broilers*
As a general rule, it takes about 2kg of feed to produce 1kg of flesh in broilers From day 1 to 4 weeks, use a broiler starter or super starter, the quantity of feed to supply depends majorly on the target weight and the age at slaughter. For a broiler farmer that intends to sell his stock 2kg body weight at 6 weeks of age, 4Kg - 4.5kg of feed per bird is required.

For BROILERS, feed them based on how fast you want them to grow. maximize your feed but don’t starve your birds as this would amount to losses because the more your birds lose weight, the more money you are losing, To maximize profit in broiler production, no broiler should be kept beyond 8 weeks to ensure maximum profit.

some birds naturally tends to eat more than others and this is the reason while you have to sort and grad your broilers when they are at 2weeks so that those eating more than the others will be separated, to make sure they all eat well.

Separate the big broilers (those eating more) in one part of the housing from the slow eaters. And feed them separately using the same feed quantity.

One thing I have always noticed is that day-old chick doesn’t eat much up to about 2 weeks of age. However, you must be ready for the increase in consumption from the third week.

Only feed twice per day Feed them twice per day (7:00 am and 3:00 pm) respectively and stick to this
feeding schedule.

the first 7-20days of broiler life, If you don't give quality feeding during these days you have missed it and your birds may not give you better weight again

While every day in the life of a broiler chicken is important to their growth and overall wellness, the first 5 days can make or mar the life of your chicks. In other words, what you do or fail to do in the first five days can impact your chicks throughout the rearing season, be it 6 weeks or more. So, it is important
that you pay close attention to your chicks and give them the necessary attention needed to give them a good start.

Avoid starving your chicks! Don’t send for your day-old chicks, if you don’t have money to raise them already. From the moment your DOCs arrive, you must ensure to give them highly nutritious feed, usually broiler starter.

To get the best result after receiving your day old chicks, your broiler chicks should be fed at least 23/24 hours everyday for the first week, This means that they need light even at night.
