Can adding ACV to the water influence the taste of the eggs a chickens lays? I know it sounds stupid, but if eating certain things can influence the taste, what about the water.
I have only been putting a couple of tablespoons of ACV in the glass 1 gallon waterer upstairs, then they have a metal 3 gallon with no ACV to drink from downstairs...don't think they would drink it if it tasted bad and it goes down. I haven't tasted any vinegar-y eggs.
I was told 1-2 Tbsp OACV to 1 gallon of water. I do this every day and I have never tasted vinegary eggs.
No. The items that do influence the taste of the egg it's because of the vitamins the chickens are getting from that food. It's not the actual food getting to the egg. All too much vinegar can do is impact calcium which will not impact taste. It has been debated if it could cause problems with them absorbing and using calcium for egg shells but at the doses most use there is no proof it does anything negative. If you add too much acv the chickens would probably stop drinking the water because of the taste long before they got an overdose.
