How much do bantams eat compared to larger chickens?

[PurpleGizmo]

How much does a bantam eat compared to the regular-sized version of the same breed?

For example, how much does a bantam orpington eat compared to a regular-sized orpington?

75%? 50%? Less?

Mine eat about 50% less than thier counterparts.

I agree with Brian. My 20 eat much less than my 50+ laying hens.
50% is a good figure.

good luck
