That's a tricky question because hay flakes don't really come in standard sizes and goats don't come with standard requirements. But in general four wethers will probably eat 2-4 flakes/day depending on the size, weight, and quality of the flakes, the time of year, the weather, how much other pasture/browse is available, how much exercise they get, and whether any of them are going through growth spurts. Sometimes my boys will easily polish off one flake per day each, and other times it takes two of them two days to make it through a single flake. I often find that my goats pig out when I first start feeding hay, but as the novelty wears off their appetites taper off with it. Good luck figuring it all out!
