Will this be your first summer here? Janie has given you great advice! I also add electrolytes to a waterer if it's going to be especially hot, just be sure they have plenty of fresh water too.

This is my first summer here, I came from all the way up in Indiana. I moved here in June!
Okay, how often would be too often to give them electrolytes, can it be harmful to them if they get too much?

Given a balance diet, no electrolytes needed. They were invented for people on the American diet.

Indiana is nice. I remember the snows.

Chickens came from a rain forest. They like the heat more than the cold but will survive both given food and shelter. They'll be fine. You're gonna suffer though.

Welcome to Texas!

I use electrolytes a couple of times a week. No more than 3x. I sometimes mix it up and keep it in the fridge overnight, then mix it with their feed. If any is left (rarely) I toss it within a couple of hours, so it doesn't sour.

When it is gangster hot, I'll give them a couple times a week or make a wet mash with it (they think mash is the best thing since sliced bread ;) ) I hope you enjoy it here in Texas, so much to see and do!
 
I have a 9mo old Rhode Island Red rooster and a 8mo Silver Leghorn rooster. They are great boys with the hens making sure to offer bugs they find to the girls, but they are not so great with my young kids. The Silver Leghorn is better about staying away from the kids and myself but he has it out for my husband. RIR seems to have a personal vendetta against my 2yo daughter. Both were accidental roos in with sets of pullets.

Free. Hill Country. South Austin to North San Antonio area.
