My hens scatter most of their food on the ground and then don't eat it! - Page 2

If they are dual purpose breeds and not getting anything else, the estimate is 1/3 per bird per day.  That would be 4 lbs. per day or 40 lbs. in 10 days.  Doesn't seem like they are using too much feed.

Have you considered reading them Miss Manners?  :)
