Do you have a way to weigh your birds?
If you weight them or have a good estimate of their weight I can calculate it for you.
The dosing for this medicine is 50 mg/kg.

Hmmm no i dont especially the are about 6 weeks old

Can you take a soda can and hold it in one hand and hold a bird in the other and guess if the bird weighs less?

I'm thinking outside of the box here...
anyone else care to chime in on how much a 6 week old chick weighs?

What breed are they again?

I have no clue what a 7 week old could possible weigh.
You are going to have to figure out something here so you don't over dose them with this med.

I can't just leave you hanging.


We have to figure some way to get a good weight on them.
Would you feel safe to say they weigh one pound?
Or do you think they weigh less?

I would think less. When I get home I have some stats on my babies. I'll look see what they weighed at what ages.

 

[Chickelodeon]

Ill try to find a way and update u guys

The vet books states that you can give 50 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg.
It's your choice which dose you use but you still need a weight on the birds.

1 ml/cc is the 200 mg/kg dose for the bottle you have.
