DVL electrovite powder for chicks

[L1989]

Has anyone used DVL Electrovite powder for chicks? It says 300g/360 litres for poultry...would it be the same ratio for new chicks? Ours are coming in the mail and so will probably be stressed and I read that you should give them electrolytes. The Electrovite powder is all I’ve been able to find in town.

Can you order Save-A-Chick electrolytes from Amazon? Those are really good, and I use them for newly hatched chicks as well for the first day of there life. I guess it depends on were your located as well, you'll have different things available.

I don’t think I will have enough time to order anything online unfortunately. The chicks will be here in about 3 days and stuff takes a long time to reach us on Amazon

Got it, it can be fast for us.
If you can't get ahold of the Electrolyte's, then what you have on hand will work. Just do the same dose as for adults. Nutridrench would be good as well if your feed store has that to. Nutri drench may even be better.

Should be the same dose for chicks as they will drink less water than bigger chickens.
