The birds are let out for foraging during the daytime while at night they are kept in night shelter. Generally, the birds under free range conditions meet their protein requirements through scavenging. Therefore, feeding the birds with available cereals (bajara, ragi, jowar, kora, broken rice, rice polish, rice bran, etc) is always beneficial to sustain the production. These grains can be offered (10-20g/ bird) every day in the morning or evening. The nature of supplemental feed depends on the purpose of rearing. For meat purpose, feeding the birds with commercial broiler chick starter feed is suggested 5-6 weeks of age, later supplement local available feed ingredients up to the market. If the purpose of rearing is for egg production, the birds should largely depend on feed available in free-range conditions. Care should be taken to restrict the weight of pullets (females) between 1.5 to 2.2 kg at 6.0-6.5 months of age. Excess body weight may reduce egg production. The broken or shell eggs can be minimized by supplementing the calcium sources (lime powder, shell grit, stone grit, etc.) @4-5g/bird/day.
