I know its been asked a million times but...

The chickens we aren't as worried about. Its the ducks and turkeys that are free range and still eat the feed like crazy also. Would it be smart to cut back on the feed some?
They get feed in the morning. Get out of the pen around 2 in the afternoon and are free ranged until around 8 at night. We been placing two bowls full of feed and they attack it during the hours they are out its gone within minutes. Then when they are put back in their pen they get fed again for the night and its gone quickly also.

Thanks in advanced all your advice is so helpful!

We Have 28 chickens and 5 pekin ducks we feed 1 1/2 bags of Flock raiser per week plus they free range. This allowed us to stop buying multiple types of feed and has saved us a ton (we do put out free choice oyster shell for our laying hens).

I buy Flock raiser too and cut a 50# bag with 25# of scratch. It helps stretch the feed a little and helps keep a some fat on my freeranging Dark Cornish meat birds.
I am almost convinced something else is eating up your food. I've seen a single deer empty one of my full 10lb feeders in a few short minutes.

Edit: Also, do some price checks. I get a 50lb bag of scratch from the CO-OP for $9- that's a big cut in price from Purina!
