    Two Great Videos - Building Chicken Coops for Dummies

    Poultry electrolites for cats?

    I have been giving the Merrick's Poultry Electrolyte and Microbials for my chickens, especially when we have a hot spell. I have kittens who have diarrhea and one thing I read is to give them yogurt which have the microbials in it. Will the Merrick's work. Will it hurt my kittens? Thanks
