HIgh temperatures can make it harder for chickens to maintain optimum body temperature, and hot weather can have a significant impact on health & wellbeing.
Electrolyte imbalance in backyard chickens can occur due to various factors, with environmental temperature being a major influence on their breathing rate. Increased respiration leads to higher CO2 loss, which disrupts the acid-base balance in their bodies. This imbalance can negatively impact egg shell quality, overall health, and metabolism.
By supplementing their diet with balanced electrolytes, you can help maintain optimal acid-base levels, promoting the health and well-being of your chickens. Additionally, including B group vitamins in their diet supports metabolism, growth, and development.
