Feeding kienyeji (local) chickens requires a balanced diet that provides them with all the necessary nutrients they need to stay healthy and productive. Here is a sample feeding chart for kienyeji chickens:

In addition to the above chart, it’s important to note that chickens need clean drinking water at all times. The water should be changed frequently to prevent contamination and dehydration.

Here are some additional tips for feeding kienyeji chickens:

• Provide a balanced feed that contains protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals. You can use commercial feeds or mix your own feed using locally available ingredients such as maize, sunflower, omena (fishmeal), and greens.
• Provide free access to grit, which helps chickens digest their food.
• Supplement the feed with kitchen and garden scraps such as vegetable peelings, fruit, and leafy greens.
• Ensure that feed and water containers are clean to prevent the spread of disease.
• Monitor the birds’ body condition and adjust their feed intake accordingly. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and health problems, while underfeeding can result in stunted growth and low egg production.
• Consult a veterinarian or poultry expert for advice on feeding and managing kienyeji chickens.
