How much do you all feed your 6-8 week old ducks?

i was giving mine about 16 ounces twice a day(half of a stonyfield 32ounce yogurt container 2 times) of starter. i was wondering since my ducks look plump and have good breasts if i can cut back, we also give them lawn clippings and other things like my girlfriends had some left over parsley and they loved that, so im wondering if we can cut back?
 
I'm not sure if it's possible for a duck to 'over eat'. I have food/water available 24/7, my duck eats layer pellets that my chooks eat, as well as vegie/fruit scraps (maybe 2-3 times per week) plus whatever he eats while out free-ranging in the day.
 
I've always done free choice feeding instead of scheduled and measured feeding. I'll limit it if I get a porky adult, but babies or anything growing get free choice.
