איך החישוב עובד
The 0.25 lb/bird/day figure for standard layers is a widely-used rule of thumb (roughly 1/4 lb per adult hen per day) — actual consumption varies by breed size, activity level, and temperature.
Birds eat more in cold weather to maintain body heat, and free-ranging or foraged food can offset (but not replace) purchased feed. Treat this as a planning estimate and adjust the feed-rate field based on your own flock's actual consumption once you have a few weeks of data.
