How much sugar per gallon of water?

[bragabit]

I promise I USED the search function first. But didn't come up with a good answer. My chicks will be here in 50 minutes and I need to know the ratio of water and sugar for my poor dehydrated peepers! I promise to post pictures too

Ive never given chicks any sugar water. They really don't need it. Just good fresh clean water, make sure they each get a good drink, and they will be fine.

not that you probably have time now to go get electrolytes if you are worried about dehydration in your little fuzzy butts...

on really hot days i put 1 cup of gatorade in a 1 gallon drinker for my chixn...

and i just saw the other day that TSC has small packets of electrolytes/vitamins to add to water too...might have to give that a try next summer...but in the meantime the watered down gatorade water worked...kept them happy on those 100 + degree days we had....(glad those are gone...lol)

I always put a clove of garlic in the water, as did my mother and her father. we have never had a problem with them not drinking and the garlic helps keep away illnesses.

A tablespoon of ACV per gallon of water works also, and we still have 100+ days here.

I can't wait until the go!
