50 Cornish X will eat how much??

[ChickMommaB]

ok so my first time with Cornish X and im gettin 50 (I am crazy I know) and I'm trying to figure out how much food to get, I'm definitely buying in bulk (I have totes to put it in) so i would like to get close to what I will need. Any help is appreciated

Feeding them to 6.5 to 7 pounds will result in a feed conversion ratio of about 2.0, so each bird will consume about 14 pounds of feed provided you butcher them at that size and the feeder is adjusted properly to prevent feed wastage. At that rate 50 birds will consume about 700 pounds of feed.
