Hey all!

I’ve been researching on just how much my future flock of birds will eat, and I need you guys to double check it, thanks in advance.

Chickens: 100 grams per bird
Duck: 150 grams per bird
Geese: 200 grams per bird

There meal would be split into 2, a large feed in the morning, and a small feed before bed.

The food that would be given is:

Chickens: (per bird)
Breakfast:
25g of layer pellets
25g of layer mash
25g of wheat
Dinner:
25g of mixed corn

Ducks:
Breakfast:
50g of waterfowl pellets
50g of wheat
Dinner:
50g of mixed corn

Geese:
Breakfast:
100g of wheat
50g of waterfowl pellets
Dinner:
50g of mixed corn

Sorry if it seems confusing, I’m a bit of a control freak

All feed will be supplemented with greens and whatever they find when let out of their runs (bugs, slugs, spiders etc)
 
depends stage of development, if they are meat birds or layers, if they are actually laying, or if they are molting, also if it's winter or summer, and % protein of feed

Real life example: currently my chickens are laying and my ducks are not, even though my ducks are larger than my chickens, they are eating less food
