We have a 4 week old chick who we have been feeding chick crumbs.

I have no idea if it is a hen or a cockerel and I don't care, we will keep it whatever

My question is though, if it is a cock, what do we feed it, I am presuming not layers pellets?

Am I being really stupid, do all the chickens eat the same regardless of whether they lay or not??

They are free range (atm) so are able to forage for supplements but we are going to enclose them all as the poo it overwhelming the lawn

My cockerel eats layers pellets as he's kept in a run with the hens. They also have corn and free range for a couple of hours a day. He looks mighty fine on it!
