Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

It is possible that some of that food is kicked out of the feeder onto the floor. Are you using a feeder our just a bowl?

one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes! And I am using both. During the daytime (if it is warm) I let my chicks play around in the coop I built for them. In there they have a feeder. But when I have them in inside I use a bowl. And your probably right.
