Apple Cider Vinegar In Water

[cass85]

Is it true that it helps chickens to put some of this vinegar in their water?

It doesn't so any harm from what I've read. However I haven't read any studies that it does any good either.

I agree with @Shadrach

A lot of people do it and believe it has benefits. But there’s no studies or proof that it actually does anything, beside changing the taste of the water.

I think so... I swear it works, but like everyone says I'm not sure if its just a myth or not lol I use organic raw apple cider vinegar a few splashes every now and then

But too much and they won't drink it

I have read it is good for internal parasite prevention. This makes for an interesting read...

Lots of hype about adding stuff to a Chickens diet that actually isn't needed. Fresh water is best and balanced feed..

Ditto Dat!!!^^^

There's no good reason to put active cider vinegar in chicken water.
Thread title shows that many probably think regular old apple cider vinegar is what to use, which has way fewer benefits than the active cider vinegar might have.
It will not prevent or kill internal parasites
There's already probiotics in many chicken feeds, read the fine print ingredients.
It can interfere with calcium uptake.

I add raw apple cider vinegar to my waterers. It has helped with algae and gunk build up.
