How and how often to use ACV

[cnj-tx50]

I have been reading the post about ACV and not quite sure that I'm clear on how and how oftern to use it. Can someone explain?

Some use it every day ( like me ) and some use it every other day or once a week. Some even have it in one container and plain water in another.
I put 2 tablespoons per gallon of water.

Thanks for the help. Got some this morning and was planning on starting them on it tonight. This should help with a number of things, right?

Yep it will keep their water cleanner and helps with many internal issues

My Silkies are just over one week old? When do I start the regimen? How often? ACV TO H2O ratio please? Thank you dianer29

As Shaggysgirl says, one to two tablespoons of ACV to 1 gallon of water is a good ratio. I'd go with the lower amount for younger birds, working my way up as they get older.

Does the ACV help with other than digestive things, like sneezing? And general health?

I wouldn't expect ACV to help with sneezing per se, but it does seem to boost the immune system, based on the theory that a slightly acidic environment is healthier than alkaline.

May I ask what ACV stands for? Thanks.

Apple Cider Vinegar. It's good also in the cattle troughs and duck pools to help stop the algae growth.
