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...
I have read many conflicting articles on the use of ACV in the summer. I have been adding ACV to the water since I have had my girls but now reading some articles stating you should not do it in the summer warmer months. Specifically these 2 articles from the Chicken Chic, she specifically...
