how much feed should I plan on using

[Borgia]

I know this probably varies but I'm just looking for a rough estimate. I have 11 cornish rocks and 6 peking ducklings. They are now about 2 weeks old and I have gone through about 1/2 bag of the tractor supply chick starter. Right now I am giving them food 24/7 and soon I plan on switching to 12 hours. In the next week or two they will also be on pasture. I plan on finishing up the starter and switching to a broiler mix from the local feed mill. I'm wondering how much of the feed I should plan on purchasing so I don't need to make multiple trips? The broiler mix is abour 20% protein and comes in 50 lb bags.

You have to keep an eye on the dates of the feed bags.
They don't last forever.

You'll get accurate info in the meat bird section. Also if you research the cornishX you purchased the estimated feed total per bird is pretty good. In the world of the cornishX there are still different strains that perform different. Know the type you purchased and look it up either here on meat forum or from the company that made the strain.
