Feeding of chickens depends on daily feed intake/bird of diet with know nutrient density.
This daily feed requirement of the flock can be given to birds two times a day.(Early in the morning before sunrise and in the evening towards sunset) for optimum feeds utilization.

There is no fixed feeding time when you are not rationing.
For Broilers, they basically eat round the clock, so you feed ad-libithum while Layers feeding can be batched into 2, basically during the cool hours of the day.

True. Feeding them at a particular time every day works tremendously too.

Chickens don’t have a set number of meals per day, but they eat small portions frequently throughout the day, ideally from sunrise to sunset. They are “snackers” by nature and benefit from having access to food at all times, rather than being fed only once or twice a day.

feeding animal with required feeds at right time

When you know the daily feed requirements of your birds allows you to plan and distribute their feed efficiently, ensuring healthy growth, minimizing waste, and maximizing productivity

Yes 100%

The general rule of feeding broilers is ad-libitum.

2 to 3 times

Chickens naturally eat multiple times a day in small amounts, and it’s best to provide them with access to food throughout the day, rather than just one or two large meals.
-
1. Chicks (5 – 6 times or all day)
2. Growers (2 – 3 times / day)
3. Layers (2 – 3 times / day) prefer ad-libitum
4. Broilers – constant feeding
5. Local birds 2 – 3 times + scavenging
