GORGEOUS chicken! By the way, we do the same with our horses, after they get the scrub down, we do a vinegar rinse.

What? Why? I've been putting <one tbls/gallon in my chickens galvanized container since the beginning... I've had no problem at all with the container.

Eventually the vinegar causes the metal in the waterer to begin to leach out.

Vinegar should only be used with plastic containers.

You can also take a cotton ball, put ACV on it, dab it on your clean nails, let it dry and then paint your nails as usual. Makes your polish stay on a LOT longer.

This is hilarious. I've spent over an hour on the BYC forum looking at different things. Then my son asked a question about ACV for acne, so I started googling and it brought me back to this site! I'm beginning to think ACV may be a miracle potion for everything!

It really is, and we didn't even get started on its uses for cleaning.

It reminds me of the Father on My Big Fat Greek Wedding? He used Windex for everything. Thats me now with ACV!

Great thread!
Thx for this recipe missprissy. One question though, do I have to make sure to get some of the mother or is just vinegar ok?

I love this thread!! I have a bird that, luckily, escaped from a predator last night. She has a couple of nicks and dings under her feathers and ended up in a neighbors pond. On another thread, I was told to wash the wounds, and apply neosporin, but they are all under the feathers and hard to see. Now I can give her this bathe and it will disinfect the areas I can see when I lift her feathers (but would have a hard time getting to) and the areas I can't see! THEN I can apply a small amount of neosporin on the one area I know is a little sore.

Does the vinegar for the bathe have to be completely organic too? Or can it be the regular stuff from the grocery store?

Also, I was always told to keep the birds far away from the kitchen for hygiene purposes .. do you bathe your birds in the kitchen sink??
Please don't laugh if this is completely insane .... lol

Thanks!
