Can ACV cause decrease in calcium absorbtion in pullets?

Can ACV cause decrease in calcium absorbtion in pullets? I just had a pullet lay her first egg, it was soft and deformed? wondering if ACV could effect calcium levels?

Thanks Judy, I have read a lot about ACV, but have no personal experience as you can tell, I know with humans they usually reccomend ascorbic acid to aid in calcium absorption ie: citri-cal, but have heard ACV can cause decrease.how often and how much ACV do you give your ladies? What benefits have you experienced? Thanks for the new egg info, I was a bit rattled with the first weird egg and my pullet is acting a bit strange...isolating and kinda punky last one off the roost this morning and not herself!I

thanks chris I was under the impression that citri cal had vit c, could swear the comercials promoted vit c as in aiding the absorbtion but calcium citrate/citrical makes sence just always asumed it was the citrius ha learn more everyday....I give the pullets ACV a few times a month to cut slime in water and it seems to firm up their poo to nice hard white capped droppings, other than that, I was very concerned about that first weird egg, i'll wait and see if it was just a fluke begginer layer or if I have a calcium issue going on,  on another forum someone went to vet with chicken and the vet said in hot weather the chicks drink tons of water and this can leach calcium too, he recommended doubling up? not sure how one would do this, at this time i switched my girls to layer pellets only, no more scratch or chick crumbles(was finishing a bag) and oyster shells free choise in a tuna can nailed to the outside coop. I will keep a close eye out, my pullet who layed the weird egg is still acting a bit strange today but functional and improving...thanks for your post     :-) Julie

i don't see it either, but citrate i believe from old chemistry or avs nutrition courses is part of citric acid??? I don't see citrate on those lables either oh well, I must have fabricated the citrus idea in my head?

well it's 98 right now outside,and has been in the high 90's and one week of over 100 up to 107 degrees here in beautiful Boise...... just in case and to make myself feel better i went out and got the girls some electrolytes(save a chick$2.99) and a bag of fancy spangled show chicken vitamins(i won't go into how much that cost ) if we have a calcium or potassium issue hopefully this will get the girls through to cooler weather! I googled citrate and it is a "salt" of ascorbic acid that does aid in absorption sooooo....we were both on the right track ( in a strange way), it is on the ingredient list of citrical but not on the significant nutritional label hee hee.......I love to learn new stuff sometimes too much and it all gets garbled in my cob web filled brain hee hee. I grew up in New England and the soil PH here in Boise screws me all up! we used to spread lime on the soil to cut acid back east and here you need to add acid to the dessert soil.....needless to say all I can grow here is yucca, mint, bamboo, and tomatoes....i kill everything else.....poor chickens I hope i have better luck with them! They are definitely spoiled as long as i don't kill them with treats, vitamins, ACV, and probiotics they may have a chance ....I don't remember it being so involved as a kid, we just threw the chickens what we had but they were hardy chickens and usually died by predator attacks, so far I think I worry way too much about these chicks and I haven't lost any yet, they are well protected from predators as long as they survive their over anxious flock keeper they'll be fine
