Answer Are you hungry already?
両方がとても自然な言い方だと思います。ただし、意味は違いますね。「もう」と「まだ」の違いと一緒です。
「Are you hungry yet?」は、ずっと待っていて「なんでまだお腹すいていないの？」という感じでしょう。
「Are you hungry already?」は食べた後にすぐ「お腹すいたなぁ」と言われたら、こう言います。「もうお腹すいたの？食べたばかりじゃん！」という感情が含まれていますね。
不自然な日本語ですみません。

Answer Are you hungry yet?
I would use 'Are you hungry yet?' but this may only be because I am from the UK. Americans tend to use the world 'already' more then we do.
