Best Answer

Typically, one quarter pound (4 ounces) of meat is considered a healthy serving, so you'd need 12.5 pounds of chicken for 50 people. However, if your guests are typical Americans they will eat a lot more than that, at least 6 or 8 ounces of meat per person: 25 pounds to be safe and not run out.

How much shredded chicken to feed 30 people?

A big dinner would be half a chicken, so 30 chickens. However, 60 people would probably include children, old folks, and others without big appetites. Perhaps even a few vegetarians. Twenty chickens should be plenty, provided there is other food. If you're talking about egg production, you would want about 150 hens to produce roughly 120 eggs per day. That would give each of 60 people a two egg breakfast.
