As of tonight I will have four Khaki Campbell ducks, 2 months of age.
I have chick crumb to feed them for now, until they get older.

How much should I put in their bowls?

Thank you in advance for your advice and comments

I don't feed "amounts" here, in my experience when birds are allowed to regulate themselves, they do. I fill up my feeders in the AM and will recheck before night mind you some don't get access because of the barns design but these are older birds, 4mths and mature.

Due to weather concerns, right now HOT lol i don't fill the feeders to capacity, my one holds 50lbs and the other 25lbs and not sure on the other as it;s homemade but several cups for sure. That feeds 16 birds in that flock. The other birds are housed elsewhere.

Yep, I don't regulate my feed either. Just fill up their gravity-feeder when it needs it.
As a note - the more they forage the less feed they're eat. Mine eat alot less than other people I know because they're out all day.

Yes free ranging effects feed, all my birds have access to forage the big flock free ranges.
