You are pretty much doing all you can do unless you can move them into a wooded area. We put frozen jugs of water in with our rabbits which helps the rabbits, but we have too many chickens to do that with chickens (160+ chickens). We place frozen blocks of water into the waterers which makes...

Chris, I think we are both saying the same thing but in different ways. Yes, you have to follow the instructions (ratios) given on the label. If the label says you get 37% sodium with 8 oz of product to 1 gallon of water, but you wanted to make 10 gallons of water and still keep the 37%...

There is nothing inherently wrong with Gatorade if it is used for what it was developed for. It was developed to replace electrolytes and fluids in athletes who lose 3-7% of their body weight during a single intensive workout (similar to getting an IV when you are severely dehydrated). The...

And I think it is a better product than Duravet because it has more % potassium than % sodium and it has more % potassium than Duravet. Potassium is more important in an electrolyte than sodium.

I think the problem is that you are simply not taking the time to read the posts carefully. I never once mentioned diluting anything. My posts have specifically remained on the topic of guaranteed analysis of the Duravet package. The Duravet package clearly states that there is 32% to 37%...

Duravet mixed by the instructions provides 84 grams of sodium in solution. Gatorade provides 0.11 grams of sodium in solution. So from an economical standpoint, Duravet is less expensive. Here is another way to look at it as well: My experience is that our chickens reduce feed down to a 1/4...

Actually, I have a Masters in Agriculture, did 21 years in the Infantry where hydration was a requirement and raised 5 kids where increased electrolytes was required routinely. So, I think I know what an electrolyte is. You might first want to review the definition of a solution, review what a...

Actually, I am comparing apples to apples. I was comparing the sodium content of Duravet to sodium content of Gatorade because people were talking about both products. So comparing sodium content of the two products would apples to apples. If I compared the sodium content of Duravet to the...

I guess there are pros and cons to both Gatorade and Durvet Vitamins and Electrolytes. Duravet has vitamins that Gatorade does not have, and no sugar, but it has an alarmingly high level of sodium when compared to Gatorade. 37% of an 8 oz packet of Durvet is sodium. That's 84 grams of sodium...
