Um.. estimated guess==I think it is taking a bag of feed a week for the 27 Easter Eggers
They get a gallon of feed every day divided up into two feedings=====half gallon in the morning and half gallon in the early evening before dark.
On average each chicken should have 1/2 cup of feed each per day. My memory might not be perfect but it is something like that.

My other easter eggers hens are in another chicken coop. One of them does not lay a green egg so I am thinking something went wrong in the gene area.....but she lays a cream color egg with pastel green dots and those dots are textured. Weird =Huh? She also does not have the ear muffs like most easter eggers do. She is a pretty Grey and cream colored chicken. Pretty.
