Well, being it is Sunday, I mixed up some feed in some of the vitamins and electrolytes water. They love it and I feel better knowing that it helps them to deal with any heat stress. In the cooler month's I give it to them once a week just on Sundays, but in the hotter month's they get some on Sundays and on Wednesdays.

What vitamins and electrolytes water do you use?

What vitamins and electrolytes water do you use?

I buy the 8-oz. Package of durvet off of Amazon. It's dry so you mix with water to liquefy it (only what you need at a time). It lasts me for a long time because of it being dry. It's for cattle, horses, goats, sheep, swine, and poultry. I have even given my dog Buster some before in his water when it's hot.

Can't find it. Durvet has tons of products. Do you have a specific name of what you use? Dry sounds ideal.

EDIT: Looked again under more than just "durvet" & found this...

This is the one that I get. When I start running low, I just buy another one.

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

Your welcome! I also mix some in my chick waterers, but use a weaker solution for them. With the chick's, I don't add any when I make their wet feed, because it's already in the water that they are drinking.

Update on the rain amount from last week's storm. 1.7" not including about a quarter inch of hail that accumulated (just not inside my rain guage). It was a gullywasher - Now I know where to trench and berm better to hold water for trees or future monsoon garden beds that need to be reworked. I also stuck some cuke and sunflower seeds in wet ground and even put a TAG on the fence what varieties I planted where!

Will your lazy river be in the same place this year, or will you have to move it?

Same Lazy River with some additions to it I think. There's a huge puddle that I noticed in the corner that I need to get draining into Lazy River or into extended monsoon garden bed.

I think I'll get DH to get the tractor out to start a good trench at Lazy River's end and then I grade and fill with the rake to fine tune it all. Oh - I just named that monsoon garden
"LZ River End"

I'm trying to name everything for EZ reference - even the drivable lane between Pole Barn and Old Tack Shed or different fenced pastures will all get names, maybe even signs.

Well, it's good to know those thing's before the actual monsoon and flooding happens.

I was just in checking on thing's in the brooder. Gave fresh wet feed, and put a small dog food bowl filled with water and sitting in a pie plate in there. Of course the duckling's had to hop right in it, don't you know. It looked like a bowl of duckling soup.
