Lol my mom would think it's a waste of money too, she only likes barred rocks and she likes a crested blue Swedish flower I have but besides that in her mind it would be a waste of money lol

I use to use electrolytes religiously every watering every waterer then I slowed down to chicks and every 3rd or so watering which is about once a week during the middle of summer cause I change water so much I was IMO waisting it and with 30 or so waterers it adds up. When it cools or during spring when I'm selling eggs it goes back to every watering. And I've never wormed my birds if I believe they need a worming then I'll do it I have wormer that's 3yrs old that's never been opened. I don't baby them I believe less is more with meds. Like them to grow with strong immunities. I will say the chicks get a round of corid about a week after they first go to the ground at about 3-4 weeks old cause they been on wire previously and not introduced to cocci to build immunity to it like if they were with a broody hen.If I was you I would buy a hen or cock with blue legs and breed into them. If you were closer I have a hen with blue legs that I'd sell for $10. Also good news, I got rid of my Muscovy's. @sdm111
do you put electrolytes in all waters or just chicks ? On another note, anybody worm today ? I wormed my chicks and all pairs/trios.
