You must weight the bird in the morning on an empty crop and then feed 10% of their body weight that day. Remember that their weight will increase daily so each day you should be feeding a little more per feeding. You can feed a little over 10% but not more than 15 to avoid overstretching the crop.

Here is a good resource;
