greenlands Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Old timers like my late father didn't have a cabinet full of do this and do that meds.more than likely three or four things at the most.Bi-Carb,Epsom Salt,Parrish's food and maybe charcoal tabs,anything else was a bonus. If the birds weren't exercising well by mid week,quarter a teaspoon of bi-card in a cup,pour just a little boiling water on it which make it burst (mothers words) top up with cold water,quarter teaspoon Epsom salts added and poured into a drinker.NO it does not blow them out,if anything droppings are better.Given Wednesday evening. Wouldn't be surprised if the late Bilco's XEREX was mostly bi-carb ????
Tony C Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Believe bicarb is one of the ingredients in electrolytes.
REDCHEQHEN Posted May 18, 2015 Report Posted May 18, 2015 Believe bicarb is one of the ingredients in electrolytes. In the past I have had a problem with dehydration - and because of high potassium - given a hospital recipe for electrolytes1 teaspoon sodium chloride (common salt)1/2 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate and 6 (yes 6) teaspoons of glucose - all made up to a litre I can honestly say its the most disgusting thing I've ever drunk!! Even mixing with cordials - its revolting!!
