Also....i tend to fill up the feeders daily and they are always empty the next day. Would figuering out how much they should be eating and limit it be a good idea? I do give treats from the garden and a handful a scratch too...

That's a good point, and that 4 oz is for layers that are laying. Sixteen 13-week old birds should probably be eating less than 20 lbs a week.
I know nothing is getting into the food storage, i believe it is alot of waste. I am going to have to rethink my feeders. The system i use...
I am currently buying the 50 pound bag from blue seal, but my chickens (16 - 13 weekers) are blowing through this in just over a week.... Im at the feed store all the time (it feels like)! I do have a closet to store the food in, so buying in bulk, if i can find it would work!
