help needed re electrolytes

[bluewhiteflight]

hi i ordered some electrolytes from a company last week but they are having problems getting them despatched and i need them as i want to get them into the water whilst its hot before saturdays race, what i want to know is will human consumption electrolytes available from local chemists be ok as an alternative

 

thanks

I would have thought that any grain merchant in your area would have pigeon electrolytes.

 

I think those available from the chemist for human consumption should be ok.---not the use of should.

i use dyrolites if i cant get old of electrolytes as it is basically the same thing,

and does the same job

when do you put electrolytes in , i used to put them in from return from a race but would you put them in before a race in this heat

[fletch]

if they have had a hard race dad will put it in or if the young birds have had a hard training toss and spent plenty of time on the wing. it is only really used as a pick up,

but a good one

ok thanks

put them in every day while this hot weather is here, it will do more good than bad.
