Apple Cider Vinegar

[Bird Lady]

I have been reading about adding apple cider vinegar to drinking water. My question is using in in a metal (galvanized) water safe? I know that acids in some metals are not healthy. Looking forward to hearing from more experienced chicken lovers

No, it is not safe. The vinegar will leach the zinc from the galvanized metal. The waterer will rust, and the chickens may be poisoned by the excess zinc.
