Are these things all normal - First time with Chicks

This is a good answer: Mother of vinegar, often tenderly called simply “mother”, is a slimy gelatinous material that is found in unpasteurized vinegar. In general it is the growth of acetic bacteria which are responsible for turning alcohol into vinegar. The acetic bacteria which are the heart of the mother of vinegar are usually filtered and killed by pasteurization in most non-organic vinegars. However, the mother of vinegar when present in the final product, especially that in cider vinegar, has countless health benefits. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-the-health-promoting-properties-of-mother-of-vinegar.htm

And mrsgibber - congrats on your new chicks! I don't blame you for being nervous, given your previous experience - but I will tell you that even with no prior experience at all, I had the same concerns when I got my first babies!

Enjoy those precious little fuzzy butts!

Ut-Oh - it just said Apple Cider Vinegar.

I will swing by Whole Foods after work to see if I can find this Mother kind. Darn, I thought I was doing so good....
