    does it have to be raw unfiltered ACV?

    because I can't find any, but I do have regular apple cider vinegar...will that work? My new chicks have some pasty butt and I'm going to try the ACV...along with plain yogurt and boiled yolk. They took to the yogurt/crumble combo right away, and the egg is boiling now....
