Twofer (2.5 fer)

Here is Maggie, my little drunken sailor, wobbling her way around the chicken yard.
I restocked the vitamins and minerals and have to dissolve this one as a 4oz packet in 128 gallons.
If anyone is game to check my math I would be very grateful.
I am coming to 4.4grams in a 5 gallon bucket or 1.1grams in my 5 quart waterer.
Is that right??
The kitchen scale I got to weigh the chickens is accurate to a gram and I just calibrated it using the smallest gram balance scale weight I have which is 10g.

I switched to grams because I was going cross-eyed with decimal points of ounces!

I checked, looks right. You are rounding up the ounce = grams number and then rounding down, I'm guessing, which I think is better as erring on less additive per water is safer.
