Hmmmm...never heard of this happening. I use vitamins and electrolytes with sugar water all the time. When the chicks first hatch or I get them from the PO. Anytime the birds are stressed. I've never lost one after having stopped the V&E's. I give the V&E's for about 3 to 5 days depending on how stressed the chicks are. I also change the water daily giving them a fresh batch of doctored water. I only give 1/8th of teaspoon per quart of the V&E's since I have one of those gazillion- birds -in -a- flock- per- package dose packets. I give about 1/4 teaspoon sugar per quart at the same time.
The only other thing I can think of is if you are feeding a crumble she might not be able to eat it well-you might want to make a mash. I use my blender and grind up the chick starter crumbles into a mash. The babies can eat that a lot easier. I prefere to feed a mash, even to the layers. I used to always feed my birds mash in Cali but here in WI mash seems to not exhist.
I'll send Little Biance good thoughts!!
Sounds like your dogs had a lot of fun! Could be worse, my dogs used to roll in horse poop, goat poop, and rotten avocados. Now they roll in bunny pee.
The joys of being a dog when nice stinky things are around to roll in!!!
