For layers, at week 4 you should be feeding 36grams of feed per bird/ day increasing steadily to 41at week 5. Gradually increase weekly by average 5grams maximum 7grams until such a time when they will be laying and consuming 120g each per day. For broilers at 4th week they should be consuming 0.9kg,5th week 1.1, 6th week 1.3 by 7th week you should be selling them.otherwise you will start incurring loses.kindly be guided by that otherwise visit resources section here for more information.
What if you just pour feeds on the feeder fill it they eat when finish you refill
