psicorman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hi All, I just wanted to check, i have 9 chickens and 3 ducks and just wanted to see how long a bag of layers pellets would last people with about the same amount i have as i seem to be going through food like crazy Thanks Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongladosh Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Welcome to the forum! Mine eat about 2-3 handfuls of layers mash each daily, so 12 x 2 handfuls = 24+ handfuls, yup, that'll go through a bag of food fairly quickly! I'd say your girls have a normal appetite but you just have lots of girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psicorman Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thanks for that, TBH its mainly the ducks that eat so much but then again they are big lol. Im testing how much i use in bags per week and will update all REgards Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
