We have 10 hens (large breed-brown egg layers) that are laying, used 50 lbs. of layer feed last month (from mid November until mid December). They live in a chicken tractor. We pay $12 for 50 lbs. We feed fermented feed, don't know if that makes a difference in consumption or not? I also have been giving them some barley sprouts now that the green grass is mostly gone.
A 50 lb bag of barley is around $7.00 and lasts a long time.
