Safeguard mash dosage for large flock

[Nksg75]

Hi,
I am in some need of math help.
I have a larger flock that I need to worm.
I wanted to go the route of the safeguard mash for the 5 days straight.
I have 115 hens( many different breeds)
6 roosters
Total 121 chickens

Out of this there is currently only 1 bantam
The rest are the standard size breeds
Approx 4-6 lb per chicken

If I do the math it comes out to me buying 5-6 bottles of the safeguard for goats.
At $30.00 per bottle that’s quite pricey.
I wanted to make sure I have the dosage correct
Any help appreciated

I dont make a mash with safeguard, I give it orally to each chicken. Thanks, but @casportpony is the math whiz. I do Georgia math; 1+1=11, 1+3= 13 etc lol.

What worms do you want to treat?
Do you care about egg withdrawal?

I am trying to treat roundworms.
Yes, I would prefer no egg withdrawal.
I thought I read that doing the safeguard goat wormer over a 5 day period would work for no withdrawal time.
Am I wrong about this?

I think the oral route would be a bit difficult with the number of chickens I have.

I like your math though!
That’s my kind of math as well!

No withdrawal of you follow the instructions in post #1 of my mash thread.
