Feeding ?

is it possible to over feed I've got 16 chicks 3 weeks old and they are eating 2 1/2 to 3 quarts a day

No.
Let them get all the nutrition they desire. When their crop fills, they stop eating. When it's empty, they're hungry.

X2!!! I have just 7 chicks in the brooder right now and they are going through about a quart / day.

Yep, let them eat! They can put it away, that is for sure!

It's crazy how it ramps up after the first couple of weeks!

I was worried that I was feeding too much cause I've two that seem to be constipated I've separated them from the others

If they're separated, it will be easier to see if they're defecating.
Try a probiotic powder, some plain yogurt or kefir with live active cultures. That goes a long way to helping digestive issues.
