Hiyas I have two chicken coops, I have 2 australorps amd 2 Isa browns in one and 4 bantams in the other. Thanks to sparrows and mice I'm going through 30kgs or 66 pounds of chicken feed a week! I cannot afford this. I plan to buy 2 treadle feeders but can't afford to right now.
So I'm thinking I should just put a days worth of feed out every morning and hopefully the chickens will eat their fill before the sparrows etc get it. I've read a laying chicken needs 120g of food per day but how much does a bantam need?
