Can regular vinegar (we don't have ACV) cure what looks like sour crop?

[PastaChickenBoo]

One of our chickens is drooling and refusing to eat, and we think she has sour crop. I've heard ACV helps, but would regular white vinegar help?

ACV does not treat sour crop. Here's an article I wrote with more information. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

No. Apple cider vinegar is only good for early stage infections. Once the bird has stopped eating and regurgitating you really ought to take them to see a vet who sees chickens, for it is important to find out the cause.
