The amount of food you should feed your chickens to encourage egg-laying depends on various factors, such as the age and breed of the chickens, their weight, and the quality of the feed. A good starting point is to provide a high-quality, nutritionally balanced commercial feed formulated specifically for laying hens and to follow the feeding instructions on the packaging.
As a general rule, a laying hen will require approximately 1/4 to 1/3 pound of feed per day, depending on its size and age. You may also want to provide your chickens with access to clean water and additional sources of calcium, such as crushed eggshells or oyster shells, to support healthy eggshell formation.
10 chickens
just one bag give it to the farmer and he will give you ones of his chickens
A good basic feed should be available at all times for your chickens. Start with about 3 oz. per bird and check how much is gone after a day. Keep in mind the birds will waste some of the feed by walking through and scattering the grains.
none why are chickens so small when you buy them at the store and farm chickens are bigger. Well grocery chicken is feed a powder that make them grow fast but they grow small. Farm chickens are organic and so are BROWN eggs. White eggs are not organic eggs. Basically nothing because now a days there is not as much healthy food the fish have mercury.
They get sustenance and place to reside in result of producing eggs.
lots of people had chickens and had there own eggs
That much food would feed at least 102 people.

Chickens may lay fewer eggs in wet weather due to the stress it can put on their bodies. Wet conditions can make chickens uncomfortable, leading to decreased egg production. Additionally, moisture can affect the quality of the eggs laid, making the chickens less inclined to lay as many.
Chickens do not lay "better" eggs according to how much daylight there is - the only thing that changes egg quality are living conditions and the food the chickens eat. However, the more daylight there is, the more eggs a hen should lay.
It requires 50 pounds of feed to produce a hundred eggs
i would say about 100 chickens to feed that many people.
