I have kitchen scales, catching them and getting them to sit still on the scale is a different story. 
I couldn't find valbazen, so I bought durvet this go around, so that's ok?
the antibiotic was given to everyone last time I dusted with sevin going overboard.... treated the ones sneezing. Used oxytetracycline.
Jeanette is the only one acting "off", but after a few daus of the oxy she's back to herself.
I am still heartbroken and crying over Matilda dying. My bf broke into sobs when it happened too, as he had gotten me my first 4 chickens for my bday and built me a coop and painted it all in 1 day. Then I got 3 more chickens, b/c he read chickens like to be in flocks of 7. But I wanted 8 to begin with, so we got a 14 month old chicken (Jeanette) to teach the littler chickens how to lay eggs & where... then I just had to get a polish or silkie, ut my bf vetoed silkies and I got a polish. Every one is currently 18 weeks old + with 2 older chickens, 1 11 month old rooster and Jeanette. Now I have a total of 10 chickens.
With another chicken coop and run planned. Chicken math. If I knew how to build a good incubator I would have 2 dozen eggs in it lol. But for now, idk what else I need for my flock.
Everyone seems happy, healthy. I knew something was off with Matilda, but being so new to chickens I did not know wtd. Now Matilda is buried and watching over my crop of plants bunny rabbits were munching on. That I surrounded by bird block and yard staples and a zillion zip ties.
