Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

The reason they don't do well together is that the acid from the vinegar may kill some of the good bacteria from the yoghurt, kefir etc.
Now it isn't totally straight forward because many of these good bacteria are able to survive the hydrochloric acid that gets added into the mix to aid digestion, but probably not all, so you may be making the probiotic less effective.
Personally I wouldn't sweat it too much and just try to keep them separate in timing.
I would see what is most effective sitting in the crop overnight and go with that last thing at night if possible.
I have probably got that all wrong so I will let myself out now and go visit my Princesses.

Ooh, I didn't see @Royal Chick's post explaining this when I posted.
Thank you @RoyalChick!

I expect the Phyllistines will be mischievous. And I look forward to it.

If they grow up to be anything like Phyllis, you will be even a more provincial man!

Me, too. I don’t go to Starbucks or get my hair done professionally, and I never pay full price for clothing, but I’ve spent a small fortune on avian veterinary care.

You really have a lot to work with there, Shad!

I don’t pay a hair professional either. Because I’m lucky enough not to have any hair at my age! If I went, they would owe me money $! Haha

Thanks again RC

That's a relief, I'll give them yogurt now a plain water. At night they can have the vinegar water

Good morning. So here are a couple videos demonstrate me NOT doing a great job st tube feeding. The first is me getting less than half a syringe into Flash and the second one is an unsuccessful attempt at getting more into her. Interestingly, let me love on her for a long time after the second attempt.

Vitamin water provided. She's 15 weeks and was vaccinated for the main kind. It's really annoying trying to make a proper diagnosis when literally every symptom points to Marek's. Besides the walking issue she's perfectly fine.

I agree. Super annoying.
