Today was about 99 and tomorrow will feel like 105. Live in Fort Worth Texas so we are about to start 100 degree days for the next 4 months lol. Do you make electrolytes water daily for your flock or is that too much? Once a week?

Do you ever give electrolyte? Can’t hurt once in a while correct?I am in Houston.
My birds get fresh clean water at least twice a day.
No special water mixes.
No I do not.Do you ever give electrolyte? Can’t hurt once in a while correct?
Electrolytes can help during extreme temps. No more than once a week and always have plain water available.
I also use a misting system iunder a shady tree which makes the biggest difference imo.
For sure. I live in the sub tropics and agree. But 95 isn't terribly hot. I find that when temps get much over 100, the relative humidity tends to drop away enough to make them effective. Even a few degrees is helpful at that point.Misters are reportedly wonderful in dry climates. Not so great in humid climates.
I remember being at the zoo on a 95F day, going through the fogger, and finding that it actually made things worse.
But where they work they work WELL.
