More than they would of a balanced diet.  A large chicken (ieRIR) eats 1/4 to 1/3 pounds of food a day,  bantams less.  I'd definitely get them a more balanced diet.

Sounds a little light.  I don't really know.  I know that bucket is about 20 lbs. or that scoop is around 2.  If you want to know best thing to do is find a scale.  But maybe someone else on here knows.
