That is very true about the electrolytes, I have read and been told in different quarters. Electrolytes [like you might find (unwisely?) mixed in with Blue Ribbon Poultry Vitamin Pack by Merricks] should not be given on a regular basis. Some of them are salts and chickens at least have difficulty dealing with salts and salts can actually kill them. Electrolytes should be given only when a bird is in a clear state of dehydration, for example, if suffering from a definite case of diarrhea. Electrolytes are definitely not to be a 'daily mix' in the water.
If you want a good DAILY water additive, get Avia Charge from Strombergs or McMurray. That is excellent stuff and is meant to be used daily, and it meets organic standards--if you care..........
