I built one of those for my 4 week old chicks. It works great for them since they're pretty feathered out.

I think she's looking for the electric "plates". I've seen them advertised

I highly recommend the heating plate brooders. Don't think pads would work too well in a cool or cold environment. Chicks like to be warmed from the top down, which is more like a hen would warm them... not from the ground up.

A small OEGB hen probably weighs about 500 grams, so the minimum dose of .2 mg/ kg would be:

.5 x .2 / 18.7 = 0.005 ml, which is almost I'm possible to give.

That max dose I would give one that size is 1mg/kg which is:
.5 x 1 / 18.7 = 0.02 ml, which is about the size of a grain of rice.

This 1mg/kg is an amount that pigeon fanciers use.

the almost impossible amount, like end of a toothpick size?

Just to rattle you.

To ruffle your feathers.

Just weighed my OEGB and tried to give just 0.03ml, but slipped and gave about twice that. Ivermectin is safe, so I am not worried. FYI, 0.05 ml is about the size of a bb.
