How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] Could someone check my math please?

I haven't a clue Laura, but if you were to call Ideal in the morning, or email them, I'm sure they would be happy to give you the appropriate numbers.

I have some of the individual packets, and they have directions on them, however...... my DH (or not so if he tossed them) has moved them and I won't know where he put them. Ever. But when he comes home at 11 I will be asking. Not that it will do any good. How much is that stuff? I enjoy converting an item into $$$$ when he does this kind of thing.

I bought the 2000 dose Gro-gel plus B pack, figuring I could divide it for use with smaller batches and store the dry powder in a sealed container in the freezer. There is approx. 1 cup of powder which is supposed to be mixed with 2 quarts of liquid.

My math skills are something to be avoided usually, but the closest small batch mixing I could get was 1/4 teaspoon powder to 1 1/4 Tablespoons of water. Is this completely off or close for those of you who are handy with equivalents :-) I won't be offended, because I'm pretty much lost~LOL

I'll be putting the Gro-gel plus B in the shipping boxes with day old baby chicks. Thanks so much for any help. it looks like my first batch of babies goes off on Monday :-)
