No, it's not too much.

I put the goat mineral out free choice in a small container that hangs on the wall out of the weather. I also mix a small amount in the feed because I have a PICKY goat who won't touch the minerals.

I would try it out free choice first in a dish hung in the barn like Alice suggested.
If they don't eat it after awhile then I'd mix a little with their feed.
Might take the a little bit to get used to it.
