Homemade electrolyte?

[ClickityChick123]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if I should make some homemade electrolytes for my chickens. It is really hot where I am and I'm wondering if electrolytes might help.
Thank you and all help is appreciated!
P.S. If I should, does anyone have a recipe?

A quart of water, tsp of salt, tsp of sugar, or dilute some normal Gatorade or pedialyte/powerade:
1 part Gatorade, 9 parts water

I do:
1 gal water
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Scale it down if needed as you're only going to use this sporadically. Make sure they still have regular water available as well.

You can also drink this yourself if needed (when we had a heat dome there was no gatorade to be found). I was giving it to my dogs as well.
