scale to measure grams ?

ArkRescue

Adopt me please !
HELP - where can I buy a scale to measure grams that won't cost a fortune? I have one somewhere but can't find it. I need to measure out some meds for my chickens to mix in their water so I need to measure it in grams.

How many grams are you talking about?
You could probably go to Walmart or Target and get an electronic postal scale if it's not too much weight. I think I saw one for $20-$30.

PM some of the forumites in the Medicinal Marijuana tread. I bet someone would let you barrow theirs.

Ark,
I have several that were bought in the food section of both WalMart and Target.
They are very accurate and not that expensive.
FYI: standard paperclip weighs a gram and a nickle, 5 grams.
I find these scales very accurate.
You can go to Wildlife Rehabber web site...they have dosage calculators for birds. Might be helpful.

Yeah because I still have her on ignore due to her prior rudeness. I think I used up all my patience already in my life, so I don't give 2nd chances any more. Somewhere I heard that "if someone shows you who they are, believe them the 1st time". If I were the selfish type to use ppl for personal gain, I would care what she has to say, but I'm not, so :1bdz:

I came home to find the package says for Turkeys ONLY - sheesh so not sure I can use this on the chickens after all? Also package does not say what the volume is, only that it treats 333 gallons - sheesh! Now how do I calculate that to chickens, and for only 1 gallon at a time? I need to be able to weigh the package, then figure out how to measure out 1/333 LOL

I have a postal scale already. I need to find my "drug" scale so I can measure out grams. It's obvious to me if this package has 333 doses that it will be GRAMS that I will be measuring, not ounces.

I'm pretty sure those generally measure ounces but not grams.

.....

Most food scales are digital and measure in both grams and ounces. Just go and look. :)

You can use an on-line converter also to convert from ounces to grams.

FYI: 1 ounce = 28.35 grams

Again, the web site I posted has many tools to help you figure out doses.

A graham can weigh between 3-1/2 grams to 16 grams depending on the size of the graham.

You are very welcome !
