I cannot offer any advice on if coconut vinegar is a viable replacement for ACV, sorry. However, you could always make your own ACV - and unless you bother to remove it yourself, it will have a mother and be undistilled.
It is quite easy, but takes several weeks so it would not be a quick...
I look every time I go by... and I make several trips "by" just to look. Glad I put in a nice big window!
Thanks for the heads up, and good luck with this little one.
This is my first time incubating, and I have been SO nervous about my temperature and stability. I am pretty sure I have stuck a thermometer in ever possible empty spot. The digital one that tracks highs/lows has had a reading of 100/99 most every time, and I still just can't seem to believe...
I had an exceptionally generous seller - I ordered 6 and she sent me 13! How's that for extras? I expect to see lots and lots and chick pics once hatching starts this month!!
How funny... I have almost the same situation on my hands :) I ordered eggs, and the seller included three mystery eggs - also bantam-sized. I look forward to finding out what they are!
Eggs arrived today! They are settling, and the sinkubator is fired up and has been steady as a rock. This will be my first hatch, so excited!

8 Swedish Flower Hens
2 Olive-Eggers
3 Mystery Eggs
The unidentified ones are quite a bit smaller, so I am thinking a bantam...
You must have crossed them really hard, because they did show up right before the PO closed today! I have no idea what kind of scenic adventure they went on, but the packaging job was A+ and they are all in good shape and settling so I can throw them in first thing in the morning. Maybe one will...
They got out in what should have been plenty of time, had a wonderful seller who communicated thoroughly. My tracking hasn't been updated in 3 days, however, so I can only assume they are lost in transit out there somewhere... Hopefully they still come in (if a little late), I just won't have...
Glad to hear your roo seems to be doing better. I just wanted to pop by and say thank you for sharing, and thank you to all those that helped you. This was a very insightful little thread, and I will keep it in mind if I ever run into a similar issue.
Welcome to BYC! You won't find a friendlier or more sharing chicken community.
American Eskimo dogs are wonderful, one of the best (and hairiest, lol) dogs I ever had... we never got another, I don't think we could ever top the one we had the fortune of loving!
LOL... Well, at least I don't feel so alone.
I try very hard, but catch myself going on chicken-tangents all the time. I can always rely on my mother to be just as feather-headed as me though, so at least I have one person who is never sick of it!
