My chickens do not eat much

and not to stir the pot, but "Organic Dewormer"? Save your money. I have yet to see an anthelmintic made from natural sources with any reasonable degree of control and guarantee of concentration of the actual bioactive compounds. Pumpkin seeds and wormwood are fine in theory, but in practice, its little better than prayer.

The dosage is the poison. For the worms, and the chickens. No need for dark ages witchcraft when safer, more reliable options, are available.
 
they are refrain from eating. They just eat a small amount and spill the food.
How much do they eat?
Or how long does a bag of feed last, and how much does the bag weigh? That would give some idea, because they can't be eating more feed than the amount you are buying.

To work from numbers that have already been mentioned in the thread:
5 chickens might eat 1/4 pound each per day
That makes 1.25 pounds total per day
So a bag that weighs 5 pounds would last 4 days
Or a bag that weighs 50 pounds would last 40 days.

Chickens can actually eat much less than that if they are small (bantams) or if they are finding lots of other things to eat. Chickens can eat quite a bit more if they are big or in cold weather, and of course they can waste enormous amounts.
