I'm mixing, and she's eating, about 100- 120 g. of dry crumble by weight, with water. Amazing how much water it soaks up, so she seems hydrated as well. 2 for 1. I got her some black oil sunflower seeds, for dessert with her vitamins after dinner.A standard sized production hen is supposed to need 120g in pellets per day, just over 4oz. How much is she actually eating? I would expect her to eat less but still a decent amount, probably around 2.5 to 3oz per day. At least.
As for weighing, my bantams all get weighed on digital kitchen scales. l hold Gladys in my arms and weigh both of us on the bathroom scales, then myself separately and subtract my weight from our combined weight to figure out Gladys' weight. With Connie I just used to pop her straight on the bathroom scales because she was happy to just stand there on her own.
That reminds me, I need to weigh my lot before next weekend, as their ivermectin is due.
