Feeding Pattern Responses to Changes in Dietary Energy or Environmental Temperature in the Domestic Fowl
TL;DR: The results tend to confirm the chemostatic mechanism in birds as food intake was related to energy in the diet as roosters changed to high or low environmental temperature responded by decreasing or increasing their feed intake.

Animal Behavior and Internal Drives
TL;DR: It is believed that spontaneous activity arises from certain underlying physiological origins within the animal organism, and from studies chiefly on the white rat what some of these origins are, and how they fit into the general biological picture of the animal's life are shown.

Observations on Eating Patterns and Rate of Food Passage of Birds Fed Pelleted and Unpelleted Diets
TL;DR: It has been a general observation that birds fed pellets can eat a given quantity of feed in a much shorter time than those fed mash, and the greater portion of the growth response obtained by pelleting feeds apparently is accounted for by increased density.
