I'd give her plenty of canned food mixed with her normal dry feed.  It will really make her want to keep eating it up.  As for a #, like they said different females keep pups differently.  Personally, I would let her keep them all for the first week, and let natural selection take place.  If at the end of a week, they are all uniform and healthy, that is the # you should stick with.  I have seen the runts out of my hound litters, end up to be the biggest and strongest after 1 year.  Don't underestimate the power of "Nature".  JMO
