It varies with breed and activity. Chickens kept in confinement (cages) will consume less feed than a chicken that is allowed to run around in a coop. Other factors include whether or not you feed your chickens supplemental material like kitchen scraps.
Generally,Bantams need about 2-3 ounces (50g - 85g) per day. Layers like Leghorns will eat about 4-6 ounces (110g-170g) of feed per day. Larger breeds, like Barred Plymouth Rocks, eat a little more.
A full grow chicken can really pack away the food if you allow it to, especially broilers who will park themselves in front of the feed and eat until the pop.
If you are trying to budget the feed, most large chickens will do fine with one third pound of feed, that along with free range for grass and bugs will keep your hens in good shape.
Depends on the size of your flock. I have 19, and they go through three 50lb bags about every three months.

Really!!!, the color of a hen does not have any influence on the metabolism or nutritional needs of the bird. The size of the chicken determines the need for food.

Is it ok to feed your dog boiled chicken brown rice low fat organic dry dog food every day twice a day?
No your dog will probaly get sick if you feed it that much a day. I would stick with haveing 2 dog meals a day with maybe a bone for the day. But if your dog is still a young puppy then you have to get special feeeding form the vet and she/he will tell you how much to feed it. But i wouldn't give your dog a boiled chicken and a brown rice low fat organic dry dog food every day twice a day. your dog would probly be sick all over.

How do you feed a blind chicken?
You need some type of chicken coop for your chicken to be able to go into at night so that he or she is protected from predators, such as skunks, possums, coyotes, etc. The chicken will also need a roosting bar in the chicken coop. Make sure the chicken coop is well ventilated. Use bedding inside of it such as straw and be sure to clean it out once a week & replace with fresh clean straw. The chicken needs access at all times to fresh clean water. You also need to go to the Feed store to purchase some chicken feed. I find the granulated pellets are the best plus I also offer them the corn mixture. You can also feed some small amounts of fresh greens. You will need to purchase a waterer and a feeder so that the chicken cannot make a mess in the feeder or waterer. If you have a hen and she is old enough to lay eggs, then you need to put a nesting box inside of the chicken coop, can use a regular cardboard box with some fresh straw in it and put it so the side so there is some privacy. Cut down the front of the box so the chicken can get inside of it to lay her eggs. You need to pick up the eggs each day.

How much food does a chicken eat to produce 12 eggs?
Not all chickens lay an egg everyday. But assuming you have a chicken that lays one egg per day, a chicken will eat approximately 2.5 ounces of feed per day. Calculate 12 days feed to produce 12 eggs and you have 30 ounces or 1.875 lbs of food to produce 12 eggs.
