Thank you very much for the idea, and providing the ratio! I think perhaps I will try ACV tomorrow. I did give everything a big scrub this morning and changed all of the bedding. Have also been cleaning the waterer throughout the day. Thanks also for the good thoughts. Fingers crossed.I’ve read about adding a bit of acv to water for the antibacterial properties. Some say it will perk a chick up. I’ve given avc to chicks but not as a remedy, only as a supplement to healthy chicks. The ratio is a teaspoon to a gallon of water—well diluted. I would hesitate to give her too many remedies in a day but it might be worth a try if you suspect she’s got heightened bacteria count...
It might be a pain but, fresh bedding and get some warm soapy water to those feeders/waterer a little more frequently. It might help her fight it off and help prevent spreading. Good luck - we hope she pulls through!
