How Much do you all feed your chickens?

Hello!
I am wondering how much you all feed your chickens each day (free choice, 1/2 cup, ect). Any information is appreciated. Thank you!

Mine free range (when there's not a foot of snow on the ground) and have free range to their crumble & pellets.

I feed free choice all the time to mine

Free range for the one's not caged. Caged get whatever amount their bowl happens to hold. Go through about 800lbs a month right now, likely less actually getting to the chickens though

My chickens don't eat cups, not even broken in half ones!
It depends on breed, age, whether they are laying eggs, whether they are male or female and how they are kept.
A reasonable starting point is 120 grams daily, four and a quarter ounces Avdp.

That’s a lot of feed. You must have a lot of chickens

Free choice though I put my finger on the scale to encourage them to eat fermented feed first, then dry.

Bet they would if they were styrofoam cups.

Mine do. But don't eat anything else. It's something with chickens and styrofoam! They think it's delicious.

I don't have a specific amount I feed them. I just let them eat out of feeder, and whenever they're hungry, they eat.
