I keep a bottle of Poultry Nutri-Drench on hand always. I give it when the birds are under environmental stress like when it's very cold or very hot. I do this along with offering electrolytes in a separate waterer so that have that along with their fresh plain water. It helps.
I also give PND about twice a week just as a boost.

What is your electrolyte mixture ratio ? Care to share with me ? I do know some from internet, but since you are someone i talked to who has chicken, i would rather trust your ratio than a random from internet.

You provide electrolyte along side with normal plain water all the time ? I heard it said can't provide them electrolyte long term ..

No. Only in times of extreme heat or cold. And not the entire time. Just when it's really brutal.

I purchase electrolytes for poultry. You can buy Save-A-chick packets at most farm supply stores in the States.
Take a look at what you have available near you. I would cough it up for the premade poultry vitamins and minerals as they are in the correct ratios for poultry.

I am not in usa, that's why a lot of products mentioned are not avail to me. hence i like diy myself if possible, that is why want to know some german BYCer

In most situations extra vitamins and electrolytes are not needed. Sick birds, shipped chicks suffering from shipping stress, that's about it. Plain fresh water is the best thing!
Check at your feed store, or ask your regional poultry expert, maybe at a veterinary school, what's best for you. Never mind what's available in the USA!
