Sheena when i hand fed my irn it was the 1st time i had hand fed a bird, and i was concerned about feeding too much or not enough, i found with the crop i fed till it just started to firm up, not hard or bulging just firm, you might even find as i did they tend to stop taking to much food when they are getting full, that worked for me, there are a lot more people on here with far more experience than me and im sure they will help you out as well.
