Keep their feeder full if they're not overeating. Chickens are good at self-regulating, but monitor their weight to ensure they're not becoming overweight or underfed.

Overfeeding can lead to obesity, especially in less active breeds. Stick to measured portions and avoid giving too many treats, which can unbalance their diet.
