How long will 50lb of feed last

[abejita]

for six 18ish wk old pullets? They are in a 10x8 run most of the day and get to roam my backyard for a couple hours a day.

A few weeks.

Depends on the breed/size of your chickens.

We have 20 hybrid RIR/White Rocks about that age and our feed lasts about 2 weeks. Used to be a month, then 3 weeks

You have about 1/3, so your feed should go about 3x of ours. That would mean about a month and a half, right?

Of course, this is just math, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with real life

You will, of course, run out without notice on the day you don't have the time to run to the store and have to ask your wife to do it for you...or maybe that's just me!

A 50lb bag lasts about two (2) weeks here.

I have 23 chickens about 17 weeks old.

Also depends how many sparrows and startlings, squirrels, chipmunks, mice and rats are "sharing" your food.
