I used the Gordons 10:
5 mls (one teaspoon) per 1/4 gallon(1qt) of water in this sprayer:

I'm not sure where you are reading that the mix only keeps 24 hours...that is not correct.

I tried to do the math and I got two different answers. I’m too tired to figure out my mistake. I’m uploading this for your amusement. One of my answers matches your suggestion though. So if you did this and your flock survived and thrived, then I am trusting in the 5ml per pint measurement and will mix that.

To adress some other posts:
1 gallon or 3 gal doesn’t make much difference to me. It’s not that I’m unwilling to mix a gallon, I just simple am not understanding the dilution for a gallon. I know there is a measurement on the bottle but it is not sensitive enough to measure one gallon unless I’m understanding it wrong. One gallon would be about .64 ounces which you can’t measure in a crude 1 or 1/2 oz marking. Not accurately. I would undershoot. I just feel like they should have a table that says 1/2 ounce mark= blank. Etc. but one ounce would be 1.56 gallons. I just hate this product. I just hate it so much.

Update- 8 pints in a gal not 4 so that makes the second way agree. Half of a teaspoon. Maybe. Haha oh. Idc anymore haha.

Using a little more than needed isn't going to hurt anything.
This is not like an antibiotic.
Next time buy this:
NO MIXING REQUIRED.

I know. I’m so high strung about this. And I looked for that forever!!!! At three tractor supplies and a rural king. Oh well. Don’t want to wait on standard shipping from TS.
