The one on the left is 7" x 8.27", which should be fine for weighing your poult. My scale is just a little bigger (8" x 8.5").

I saw in your other thread that you had been giving Corid. I suspect your poult is not drinking enough, so I was going to suggest giving the Corid orally in addition to the medicated water. When I give a direct oral dose of Corid, I usually weigh them and then calculate the dose based on their weight. Let me go look at my poult weight chart, and I will come back with a suggested dose based on the weight of my poults.

Corid in water:

Treatment	20% Powder	9.6% Liquid
For 3-5 days	1.5 teaspoons per gallon	2 teaspoons per gallon
then for 7-14 days	1/3 teaspoon per gallon	1/2 teaspoon per gallon
