How much feed will 30 chickens eat a week?

[waddles99]

How much feed will 30 chickens eat per week? They are currently in the brooder, almost ready to come out. They will have access to 100 sq ft/bird. How many lbs of feed will they go through in a week? Thanks for input.

Chicks or Chickens?
30 Chickens 45-60 lbs per week

Many years ago I came across a figure of a quarter pound per bird per day. I use that as a minimum.

I feed slightly more... id say currently around 40 chickens. a 50lb bag of food lasts 4-5 days, toward the 5 days in the summer when they free range, 4 days or under in the winter when they have no forage.
