Turkey feed consumption

[Mandrogora]

Our flock has access to feed free choice but I'm curious how much a heritage turkey should eat per day. We have 5 males and 1 female who are about 7 months old. We will be rehoming some of the males and adding more females in the spring.

Younger growing birds eat a lot. I'm not sure exactly how much though. Mature ones barely eat anything.

Qell, my BBW was happy with about 1-1.5 pounds a day. But my royal palms I used to have were free ranged and I just filled a bowl up whenever it was empty.
