acv

Curious as to what others think on this matter!

Is apple cider vinegar good for baby chicks? Someone from the hatchery said to use it diluted in their water when I get my chicks? Is it beneficial? Immune boost? I got the the ACV “with the mother” which is raw. I’m just using this and medicated feed. Do I need more supplements to add?

Hi. New chicken owner here. We have adult chickens we’ve had for about 3 months and got some 2 day old cheeks about 2 weeks ago. All of the babies appear to be happy and healthy but ever since day 1 they’ve had runny poop. It isn’t all of the time and the chicks are happy healthy eating and...

My sweet girl Diamond is a 1 year old Barred Rock. She has sour crop and is lethargic. I've given her some ACV already and will continue to do so. But yesterday when I picked her up her crop was so full and watery that she vomited all over me. She coughed and spluttered so I am pretty sure...

About two weeks ago, P and K got extremely stressed out, (I put them outside in a dog crate while I was cleaning) and didn't truly calm down for about 12 hours. A few days later, the poopy vents started. Sloppy poop on the run floor, poop encrusted around the vent and in the feathers, won't...

Out of our five hens, one of them is molting late. She’s still in the process of losing feathers and has minimal new growth. We’re experiencing a cold snap right now; it’s -1 degree Fahrenheit and won’t get above freezing until two days from now (with night time lows still below freezing). When...

Hello and good morning fellow BYCer's! :frow This thread is focused on those who use alternative worming methods such as DE, pumpkin seeds, herbs, red pepper flakes, ACV, etc AND are willing to put up before and after fecal float with species and load count numbers to help stop the arguing as...

That is the question. Have a flock of 18; 12 of which are 3-4 weeks old, 6 are almost a week old. They're in separate brooders until the tiny babies are bigger and can be safely introduced to the big girls. Both sets are on medicated starter. The more I read, the more confused I get. Some...

Hi, I have a week old chick. The chick has pasty butt and every time I wash its vent off it becomes clogged again. I've heard that apple cider vinegar helps with this, but you're supposed to put it in the chicks water and I already have Corid in my chicks water. Is it ok to have both Corid and...

Hi, I have a 5 day old chick. The chick has pasty butt and every time I wash its vent off it becomes clogged again. I've heard that apple cider vinegar helps with this, but you're supposed to put it in the chicks water and I already have Corid in my chicks water. Is it ok to have both Corid and...

.... I don't get the ACV thing. I see where a lot of folks add Apple Cider Vinegar to their chickens' water, at least on occasion, for various health reasons. Here's why I'm puzzled. My kids and I have done experiments where we put eggs in tumblers containing water and ACV in various solutions...

One of my chickens started looking poorly on Monday (April 8). Tail down and lethargic. We've had very healthy chickens and no problems for a few years now, so it was definitely a surprise when this one started acting sick. I know chickens are great at hiding illness, so when we notice...

Hey Guys, Long time follower but first time poster...because i need help. I have 5 beautiful chickens who have just started laying (australorp x 1, australorp x silkie x 2, white sussex x 2). Yesterday my partner and I picked up a 16 week old Barred Rock and a 12 week old Gold Laced...

Hello everyone, I can’t seem to find when to quit giving this for my new flock? Tonight is the second night of no pasty butt and they are 8 days old. :celebrateI’m wondering if I can quit giving it now? Lady at the TSC also told me to supplement with grit after transport just to help. So if...

I put 1 TBS per gallon in my water. My birds didn’t like it. They really slowed down on the water. I just went back to water. Has anyone else experienced this?

Both of these chicks vents were being pecked on by my other chicks when I was at school, by the time I got home they were both bleeding, one worse than the other. The worse one or the white chick in the images below a vent began swelling. Both chicks released vent fleet and these are they're...

Just last week I learned the many health benefits of apple cider vinegar, and wanted to see if my flock would respond in any way. So first of course, I researched if it was ok to do so - They weren't allergic or anything- and all the articles I read say that nothing negative was reported, so I...
