I have 14 chickens between 6-9 months of age and I go through about 100 pounds of feed every 3 weeks. Is that normal? Seems like a lot to me!

Yes, we switched from pellets to crumbles. Our birds have the habit of trying to rake through their feed as if there was a prize somewhere inside. They seem to do this less with the crumbles. We did the switch at the same time we hung the feeder in the box, and the spilled feed doesn't go bad as quickly. Any spillage gets eaten, too. So, it could be that it is the box and not the feed switch that did the trick.@Chemguy , Are you saying you switched from pellets to crumbles? I always thought that they wasted more crumbles.
