Apple cider vinegar for my chicks and ducklings!

[Henriettamom919]

All 10 of them are of different ages actually. Some of them just sneeze a few times. Nothing else. This chick is only 2 days old. He sneezes sometimes but is otherwise eating and playing like usual.

Our 5 week old Ameraucana, Niblet, sneezes ALL.THE.TIME any time we take her outside. Not as much in the brooder, if at all. I was so worried but there was nothing else wrong with her and she had always done it.

Some of em' just sneeze more than others when they're tiny peeps

You are right. Usually i too wouldn't pay much attention , but all of them are sneezing from ducklings to chicks . Plus we had a respiratory infection breakout in which one of my hens died , my rooster and one hen are still very sick .I was just worried as i don't want to loose my baby ducks at any cost.

I’ve used organic apple cider vinegar in my hens water from when I brought them home @2 days old..... they have been really healthy girls for 3 yrs. as someone else noted above no more than a tablespoon/ gal. Plastic not metal watered.

The thing i was confused about was whether i can give acv water to baby ducklings? Since they live with my chicks , i can't prevent them from drinking It?

Looks like it's just fine for ducks! I found an old thread with lots of folks having used it with ducklings!

Brewers yeast with garlic is good for duck and chickens.
1/2 scoop to a cup of food.

It is safe to give Acv to baby chicks and ducklings. There was a recent respiratory infection breakout among my flock. So i want to give the baby chicks and ducklings something to boost their immunity. Would acv be safe for them both? What would be the dose?

Any other suggestion would be appreciated.

VetRX for poultry in their water when breathing sounds funny is good and natural. Recommended to me be a duck raising veteran Can find at tractor supply and online
