How long will a 50 lb bag of feed last 27 chickens?

[Allie Grace Sanders]

Hi, I buy Non-GMO feed from Sunrise Farms. They sell for $16 for a 50 lb bag of layer. I need to know, how long this will last 27 chickens? I want to sell eggs for $3 a dozen.

Maybe 2-3 weeks if you’re lucky.
ETA: Not even 2 weeks it seems

I FF and I have 31. The 50 lb bag lasts about a week here.

1 1/2 weeks on average. Depending on how many treats you give. GC

I am not sure but I can tell you that I have 8 hens and one fifty pound bag lasts me right at thirty days.

Mine lasts about a week and a half for 31 birds.

A couple of mine are bantam.

I pay $24 for a non GMO feed for 7 hens it last 30 days
It works out to $2 a dozen for feed cost.

I have 24 hens, and a 50# bag last me about 10 days.

My 19 LF are 6 and 4 months, not laying yet. I feed fermented plus free choice flock grower pellets in a hanging feeder and 50# lasts a full 30 days. I find nothing on the floor since switching to pellets. I have some big appetite breeds like cochins and Brahmas.

I have 31 chickens, 11 of them are bantams, and it lasts me about a week and a half. I feed chick feed though because I have roosters and I like the high protein diet.
