I have 13 Barred rock Pullets that are 13.5 weeks and 3 Pekin female ducks that are 9.5 weeks . The ducks are about 7 lbs each and the chickens are a good 5lbs now . Every 2 days or a bit less they go thru 13-15 lbs of Flock Raiser... That's about a bag a week now.... Omg! They are Fully Free Ranged . I thought that would cut down the food bill ?
My question is .....is this normal?
I do leave it in there at night. Should I take it away ? Cut it w scratch?
They also range all day 7 am -8 pm and get treats! There's no waste on the floor either ...
Any thoughts? Thanks
