Fresh Water every day?

[Blesser]

In the coop, I change it about 3-4 times a week for a 5 gallon waterer for 7 birds.
I have ceramic bowls outside (purchased @ walmart on sale) that I refill with cool water twice daily.
I want to encourage my chickens to drink water on hot, humid days and providing fresh water is a great way to do that.

I wouldn't give my birds bleach(that could do more harm then good). Give them ORGANIC apple cider vinegar, not regular white vinegar or regular apple cider vinegar as those don't have the mother in it.

Bleach?!?!?!
If I will not injest it, no way would I give it to my animals.
Keeping a sanitary environment is detrimental to all living organisms in the long run.

I have a friend who puts some ACV in the water every time. I didn't know you could and I think it was posted that it helped keep the slim away.

For many folks that are on well water it is suggested to add some bleach to the well perhaps every 6 months to kill germs. Unless I'm mistaken bleach added to water is not that different than chlorinated water.
