I've been giving them ACV from the get go. They look & act like their real healthy. How could an organic product hurt them. A tablespoon per gallon will hurt them. I don't think so.

But I also give my chicks ACV in all their water- I use 1 T. per gallon. I may give them a break from it every once in a while, but they aren't on medicated feed and my intention isn't for worming it's for the probiotics and slight acidity. There is a study somewhere that, while it debunks a lot of the myths about giving ACV to chickens, says that it improves the PH of the chick's crop. And since I use raw Braggs the probiotics should help (and at the least can't hurt).

And I have noticed it helped with pasty butt- my first chicks, from a breeder, had no problems with it at all. But then I got some hatchery chicks and about half of them had runny poo and got a little pasty, so I started the ACV (which I didn't start with the others until they were a few weeks old) and the pasty butt cleared up in a few days.

Just found my two barred rocks and one australorp had pasty butt and had to dunk them in water couple hours ago. I made a little glass waterer with acv they can choose between the two. None had pasty butt yesterday, I don't know if it's because I switched out the acv water to plain water that they got a little constipated today or just because their poo is getting more solid now since hatching and nothing to do with the water (just stress or heat issues instead).

In any case now I have a new question haha... is cold drinking water inappropriate for chicks? Should it be tepid? My well water can be pretty ice cold sometimes.

I'm only talking about Braggs ACV. You even commented (and at the least can't hurt).
