FYI, I've just had a delivery of Chicken feed & bedding from a local-ish company that offers free delivery. Saves me a lot of hassle and lifting as they bring it all to my door and I pay them when they arrive.
Heygates layers pellets £8 for 20kgs
Heygates mixed corn £8 for 20 kgs
A bale of chopped wheat straw for inside the coop and nest box £7.50.
Usually, I buy a bale of wood flakes (same price) but thought I'd try straw as it should compost more quickly in the Hotbin.
20 kgs of layers pellets will feed 4 hens for 4-6 weeks. Can't tell you for sure as I don't keep a check. They're eating more at the moment as they can't go out foraging because of Avian Flu restrictions.
The mixed corn lasts for months - they have a handful each at night and a bit scattered around during the day to keep them busy.

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.
