How many times do you feed your ducks everyday and how much?

My ducks have a full dish from morning to night
I take the feed abc water away at lockup time
But as ducklings they have feed 24 hours a day till about 3 months
All my ducks are normal size and no overweight
In summer they forge more and eat less feed. I’m winter they have been eating a lot more

My ducks, chickens, and goose have food outside in daylight hrs. Only my chickens have food inside the coop and it's up off the floor so my slobs[excuse me waterfowl can't muck it up] and destroy the coop. They do forage but like @New duck mommy 2021 mentioned foraging is not that great in winter.

I have a Grandpa's feeder for my ducks. It has a little step that opens the lid of the feeder when they stand on it. So, they have food 24/7. They have been looking a little more plump in the last year since I got it though.

Mine have food inside the coop 24/7 (which means water too.) Outside and it'd become wild bird, deer, quail, turkey, and pheasant chow. They mostly ignore it all day and everyone guzzles dinner at bedtime. They are a bit chunky now but I assume that is warmth giving.

Mine have food available 24/7.
