I'm a newbie and my hens arrive tomoro morning. I'm gettin four by the way. To get an idea of how much they're gonna cost to keep could anyone estimate for me how much they will eat?

Standard LF eat around 1/4 to 1/3 pounds a day. So four would eat 1 to 1.2 pounds a day. The cost can vary widely depending on your location and the way you want to feed. Just using organic would be more, free ranging less.
