Big hugs and deep breaths. Get a kitchen scale. They are super handy for chicken keeping. Weigh your girls and you'll know exactly how much to give them.

Do you have a bathroom scale?

It said to give 0.12ml per 5 pound chicken

How large are your birds in pounds?

No postal scale, kitchen scale, or even a bathroom scale? A bathroom scale isn't terribly accurate but you can weigh yourself, pick up a bird, weigh both of you, and subtract to get the bird's weight.

Even a smaller EE weighs in at around 5 lbs, which is... 1.25 ml. More than double the dose you gave.

Not too late to go pick one up. They are definitely a chicken supply staple. Walmart has them for around $15.
