Newbie here and trying to learn as much as I can from books, sites, and just plain trial and error, along with advice from coworkers of course---bottom line, what should I put in their water, if anything to keep it not only clean, but also for health benefits. We have only had our 4 girls for going on three weeks and right now only use plain water that we change out every day. I have heard/read everything from ACV, pennies, rosemary, antibiotics, etc. Trying to sort out the best options. Thanks for the help!
