Yes I actually just bought some on eBay. I haven't used it yet, but it seems to me to be just like any other electrolyte. It says on the container it can be used for sick poultry or healthy oultry, so I'm thinking it will be fine for your babies! Have you ever smelled those children's chewable vitamins? Strangely enough this stuff smells like that! Lol. The only thing is it doesn't tell you how much to use per gallon. It says use one ounce per 16 gallons of water, but I have a one gallon waterer. Hopefully someone who has used it will post

Also, congrats on your babies!!! Post some pictures!

That would be about 2 cc (ml) per gallon, less than 1/2 teaspoon.

I am assuming that this is ok to feed to laying hens? as we love the fresh eggs!
