How much food does a heritage breed and the broad brested go through in a week?

7 Australorps, 6 Buff Orpingtons, 1 production red, 1 young bared rock roo, 1 pair of Old English Game Bantams, 4 bantam hens, 4 Freakin' cats,  (RIP Cookie) best dog ever, 1 dog sky(smartsmartsmart), and a variety of new chicks.

I've been using the calculations provided by Meyer Hatchery on their website for BBW.  They don't provide feed calculations for heritage breeds though.  Meyer Hatchery

Holy Turkey!  My Royal Palm gobbler and hen only go through a few pounds a week.  They are free range, but I sure didn't realize the heritage breeds ate so much more!
