Has anyone used a similar method for ducks? Or any other method that you've
found very satisfactory? I'm cognizant of the work done by Takao Furuno,
though I haven't read "The Power of Duck."

This is an excellent question. Because the answer is not simple ...
The idea is that the land would be multi-use. Lot of different
animals and lots of different kinds of things on the land. So your
human consumption fruits, veggies and grains would be grown on the
same land - just go in and harvest what you want just ahead of the
chickens. The chickens will be your gleaners.
That said, I would say 25 chickens per acre. Paddocks would be about
1/5 of an acre.
