Safeguard dose per 100 grams of body weight is 0.05ml. Make sense?

I am going to weigh them on Friday & I will show all their weights per bird I think my tiny hen weighs about 1lb I am super tired so sleep well!

 

[poult]

Alright here are the weights:

6 chickens weighed 4 lbs give or so a few oz.

1 chicken weighed 2lbs 9 oz.

1 chicken weighed 6 lb.

Both geese weighed 10 lbs.

One duck weighed 8 lb.

The other duck weighed 7lb.

That was actually fun weighing them!

Ok so far I have is that one lb is 453.592 grams. So I need about .2 ml for each pound? But that doesn't make sense. If I have a 4 lb bird and multiply 453.592 x 4 then multiply again x .2 I get 362.8736. :/

453.592 grams is .453592 kg

Safeguard dose is .453592 kg x 50mg / 100mg/ml = 0.226796ml (round up to 0.23ml or even 0.25ml). Make sense?

No

So am I suppose to use .25 ml per lb? If so I for a 4 lb bird I would get a 1 ml dose & for a 2 lb bird a .50(.5) ml dose? I am sorry I told you I am bad with math it's my worst subject science,history,literature,health I will do great math? Expect me to fail.

Let me start with this...

1000 kg = 1,000,000 grams
100 kg = 100,000 grams
10 kg = 10,000 grams
1 kg = 1000 grams
0.1 kg = 100 grams
0.01 kg = 10 grams
0.001 kg = 1 gram
0.0001 kg = 0.1 gram
0.00001 kg = 0.01 grams
0.000001 kg = 0.001 grams

To convert pounds to kg divide by 2.2:
Five pounds - 5 ÷ 2.2 = 2.27272727273 kg, but is rounded off to 2.27 pounds

To convert grams to pounds first convert to kg, which mean moving the decimal point three places
to the left or times by .001.

Your small bird weighs 453.592 grams, so = 453.592 grams x .001 = 0.453592 kg

Then if you want to convert to pounds you do this:
0.453592 kg x 2.2 = 0.9979024 and round up to one pound, so your smallest bird should get
0.23 ml Safeguard.

You're in school? Why not print this post and show it to your math teacher and explain that you
that you want to to be able to calculate doses for your birds. I bet he/she would love to help
you and can probably explain it better than I can.

Edited to fix typo - 2.72 pounds should have said 2.27 pounds.

With 10% Safeguard liquid or paste:

1 pound gets 0.23 ml
2 pounds gets 0.46 ml
3 pounds gets 0.69 ml
4 pounds gets 0.92 ml
5 pounds gets 1.15 ml
6 pounds gets 1.38 ml
7 pounds gets 1.61 ml
8 pounds gets 1.84 ml
9 pounds gets 2.07 ml
10 pounds gets 2.3 ml
11 pounds gets 2.53 ml
12 pounds gets 2.76 ml

and so on...

Of course it's okay to round up or down a little, that's what most people do.

I thought it may be a bit confusing for the girl, however, the teacher would probably find it...
