What type of scale do you use? I want to start weighing my chickens to keep an eye on their health.

Calm allows for more precision.

For that price it better be precise and do fecal samples as well. Lol

You can look at weight for insight into issues other than worm burden. I do it for weight changes associated with coming into lay, incubation and brooding of chicks.
