How we worked it out
Updated as you change the numbers.
- Feed = birds × feed per bird per day × days.
Method and assumptions
Laying hens of most breeds eat about 0.2 to 0.3 lb of complete layer feed a day; spillage and rodents add more. Treats and forage reduce feed but should stay under about 10% of the diet.
Questions
