No less than 1.6 teaspoons (8 ml) per gallon for treatment. How many birds are you treating and how much water do they drink in a day?

Im sorry for being so stupid. Ive been on the phone all day and I cant think anymore. I have about 65 chickens and I believe they are drinking roughly 4 gallons each day. I put 1 tablespoon/ gallon mixed with juice, water and sugar. I think they are going to need some probiotics.

About how much do these 65 chickens weigh? approximate is okay.

between the brahmas and the americaunas and the buff orpingtons I would say 8 lbs. each

btw, this started with the birds from one breeder. I know they could have had it, picked it up from wild birds, but I am suspicious.

 

[casportpony]

between the brahmas and the americaunas and the buff orpingtons I would say 8 lbs. each

65 x 8 = 520 pounds

520 / 2.2 x 25 /125 = 47 ml needed per day (9.4 teaspoons per day)

47 / 4 gallons = 11.75 ml per gallon, or 2.35 teaspoons per gallon.

Does that help at all? Bigger hens need more.

If they are drinking it with one tablespoon, just keep doing that.
