Are they supposed to eat this much??

[BarredRockGirls]

I didn't put any food in the coop today . Just outside . But the chicken hens haven't ate all theirs just yet it's only 4pm they are great foragers tho
the ducks have eaten all theirs but they foraged A LOT more than they ever have so maybe this will work idk

If the feed is outside, sometimes wild birds will take advantage. The first thing to rule out is if it's getting eaten by something else... mice, squirrels, wild birds, etc. Ducks are pretty good about wasting it and slinging it all over the place when they mix it with water. My feed bill dropped a lot when I sold the ducks.
