Can I Mix Both Probiotic and Electrolyte in Same Gallon of Water?

I had three hatchling Ameraucana chicks yesterday, but one started sneezing and this morning, she died. She had stopped sneezing yesterday afternoon but started again this morning. I happened to be near the brooder when she started to flop around, and then just died.

The two left seem to be OK at this point; both eating and drinking well. However, I want to make sure they get what they need, so daughter searched BYC and found that Probiotic, Electrolyte and vitamins may help.

I bought Sav-A-Chick Probiotic and Electrolyte and vitamin supplement. And finally, my question is: Can I mix both together in the same gallon of water. Also, how long will the water last before I should throw it out? Should I refrigerate or not?

Thanks in advance for any help given.

 

Thanks, MamaChick. How long can I keep the water before it goes bad?

BTW, if all goes well, I'll have eight more babies on or about June 3!

 

Thanks again MamaChick! OK, no refrigeration and I change their water daily anyway. They don't kick too much of their pine chips into it since I built them a little table. Just a short piece of 1/4" plywood with flat side down 2 x 4 legs. Just wide enough and long enough for them to be able to "belly up to it". As they grow taller in another week, I'll turn the 2 x 4 legs up to make their table taller; nothing gets into the water then.

Oh, and they absolutely love, love, love smashed up boiled eggs! Is it true they grow faster if given boiled eggs?

 

OH! I just noticed your photo of the dog and chick! My chihuahua/terrier mix just loves my chickies too! She has to smell them all over when I hold them.
