Best Answer

Yes, There is nothing wrong with free feeding your birds, They can have access to grain 24 hours per day as long as you don't mind the wastage. Many home farms feed their free range birds from a communal feeder first thing in the morning and keep it full all day long while the birds forage for other tidbits. They can always find food by coming back to the coop.
