Does anyone here use apple cider vinegar in the hens water? Is it safe to give them this every day or is it too acidic? Started using it but keep hearing conflicting opinions! Thanks

Hi guys I wonder if anyone can give me some advice... I have one isa brown and one black Hamburg hens that are 20wks old, we have had them one month. 2 days ago we got 2 more isa browns. We introduced them at night, all seemed to go ok, the next morning I let them out, and one of the new ones...

Hi guys I am new here but need some advice! Went to let my hens out just now and one is really slow, just hopped out the coop and now sitting next to the water just drinking, she looks really puffed up, didn't want to eat out my hand which is unusual. Any ideas what this might be? Got 3 hens...
