Homemade Electrolyte Solution

There for a while my chickens wouldn't drink regular water, so I filtered their water, and added this electrolyte solution that my mom found online.

1 cup of water

1/8 tsp. Salt

1/8 tsp. Baking Soda

2 tsp. Sugar

Generous Dash of Cayenne Powder

Mix up, and add 1 cup for every gallon of water, or give 1 cup to any chicken that is too dehydrated.

Here are the links where we found this recipe.

I do not take any credit for the recipe. The only thing I altered was by adding the cayenne powder.

That's all for now. Keep visiting.
