Food consumption

Whilst I wait for the supplier to take delivery from meadowsweet .... I've been trying to source feed etc. (which is turning out to be harder than I thought online)

I see 5Kgs sacks and 20Kgs sacks - just "exactly" how long would a 5Kg bag last 3 birds? Its all made horribly more complex when the feeder & drinker are sized in liters !!!

A rough average is about 125g of feed/bird per day.  So about 53 days for 3 birds on a 20kg sack. Check the date label as the vitamin content deteriorates over time.

Any idea how far past the date you can go before it really becomes a problem? :?

No idea sticky can you find another supplier with better dates ? ours are usually about 2 months within date when we get them.

A rough average is about 125g of feed/bird per day.  So about 53 days for 3 birds on a 20kg sack.

See I knew there was a simple answer.  

I get mine from just outside Coventry.

Im the other side of the WM. Black Country way.  I picked up a few places locally from another forum that I need check - I bet the look at me as if Im out of my tree.
