ACV is Apple Cider Vinegar. ACV is also known as acidic acid and while ACV may have some good uses in maintaining chicken, (and human health) all acids react violently with bases like lime, calcium, oyster shell, marble, egg shells, and all other forms of limestone, including concrete. So use your intelligence and do as you prefer, after all the chickens belong to you.What is ACV and where does one get it? I'd love to give them the calcium in their water instead of their food so that I know my hens aren't picking out the calcium or avoiding. I have 2 hens that keep breaking their eggs and the other 4 in the same coop that make strong eggs.
I have been giving them crushed oyster shells, and lots of table scraps (left over meats too), they have layer crumbles that I sometimes mix with gamebird feed to try and vary their diet up a little. I cannot have them free ranging as neighbors complain
I have to Sexlinks, 2 Light Coronation Sussex and 2 Salmon Faverolles
