There can be a few reasons for this to happen. The first thing to check is if your foot strainer in the bucket below the ceramic weight is blocked off. If so, remove trash and continue medicating.
The next thing to check is your metering tip. If it is stopped up, it will not allow medicine to pass through. Blow it out if stopped up.
The final thing to check is your off time setting. If you have a low off time setting and your water consumption is low, then the animals are not consuming enough water in that time period. Move your off time up by a half minute to a minute and try the cycle again.
For instance, you have chickens that are one week old. It is the cold time of year and their water consumption is down. You set your timer to two minutes and notice that not much of your solution has left the bucket and you have concerns that the medicator isnt working properly.
The reason that only a minimal amount of solution has been delivered is that your off time is too short. You have to ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
