A chick will actually eat about 1 ounce of feed per day, this is very general as pecking and scratching will lose part of the food offered and rodents will grab a share. In general, limit the amount of feed available to avoid unnecessary waste. Food lost in ground debris will be searched for later in the day.
While breed and size determines daily intake. A full grown chicken, hen or rooster will generally require 3 to 5 ounces of feed per day. Free range hens will supplement this with fresh greens and insects.
What else can I help you with?
If you do not have a rooster does a hen have to have a special kind of feed to lay eggs?
A hen will lay eggs with or without a roosters presence. Without the rooster the eggs will be non viable or unfertilized. To assist in egg production you should feed the hens extra protein and minerals for healthy eggs. This is much easier done by purchasing a produce called Layer pellets or laying "mash". All feed and grain outlets can provide this for you on demand.

What do you feed 6 laying hens and 1 rooster in the same pen?
Roosters, of course, don't lay eggs. Therefore, their calcium requirements are much lower than laying hens. Overdosing with calcium will have predictably deleterious health effects, including kidney disease. Chicken feeds are designed for the poultry industry, where roosters are expendable. Nobody concerns themselves with the longevity or health of the rooster, because it has no effect on profit. Therefore, there is no dedicated rooster feed. Your best bet is a wild game bird feed, which does not include a high calcium content. At Sunnyskies Bird Sanctuary, we use Cochecton Mills Wild Game Feed.

What is the best food for hens?
From the time the new chicks leave the shell they should be given a chick starter food. This is available either in medicated or un-medicated form. The chick starter is small pre-ground and easily digestible. At about 2 months a small amount of chick grower can be added and increased each day until the birds are off the chick starter and eating only the grower. At about 4 months and close to laying the hens should be given layer mash/pellets to prepare them for egg production. They can stay of the layer feed for the rest of their lives unless the extra cost of layer is prohibative (about $2.00 per 80lbs). Hens will survive quite well on chicken scratch but during the prime egg years they need the extra calcium and proteins in the layer feed.
