APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[Padre]

I think we missed the point of this one. I am not at all sure if it will help with worms, but if not it will do no harm.

Have read good reports on its use for worms, and no you don't have to store it in the refrigerator, it is vinegar, and needs no refrigeration. However, I highly recommend that you buy raw ACV in the health food section of your grocery store with the mother in it and unstrained so that they get the health benefits from it. Pasteurization makes it a dead food, just like pastuerized milk is a dead food.

I keep a small bottle of raw ACV in the storage area of my coop at all times so that I have easy access to it.

I wonder how it tastes?

Actually, I drink it every day, mixed with water. It's not that bad. It tastes like apple juice!

My birds don't seem to mind it at all. I add just a tiny bit. When I add the water, it just barely fizzes. And the smell and color is faint.

Mike, I have heard of folks using this to help with internal parasites though I cannot be sure its effects.

I know it cleans up their sniffles nicely as well as the algae which everyone has mentioned.

I can never be sure I have enough ventelation and I think that adds to winter sniffles when the coops are winterized. It is a very fine line.... the enough ventelation - no draft line that is

My birds have access to their runs year round but I close the trap doors at night to keep the wind from whipping around in there.
