    Anyone noticed any difference in chickens when you include apple cider vinegar into the water?

    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...

    The right treatment for sour crop?

    My 3-year old hen, Dottie, has a big squishy crop. On Tuesday I started her on miconazole 3-day yeast treatment (cut the suppository in thirds and gave her a third 2 x a day) after seeing it recommended on BYC. That first day when I gave it to her I could see the liquid in her throat, there...
