Come to think of it...yeah we did. It was warm yesterday but now it's colder so you might be right....we don't have Gatorade since we all think it tastes bad but I'll take it into consideration.Did you happen to have a recent cold spell abruptly interrupted by a warmish or hot day? That occurred here, and a young hen just about died from heat exhaustion from the wild temperature swing from cold to hot. She came in to the run from free ranging and collapsed at my feet into semi-consciousness. I whipped her up and ran into the house with her and tubed room temp Gatoraid into her crop, a good half a cup. She revived in less than an hour and by evening was back to normal.
