I read on a different post that it needs to be unpasteurized in order to have all of the organisms and bugs that deworm the chickens and all of the other wonderful things its supposed to do. Does anyone know if that's true?? I hope not

It also pretty easy to make once you've got a mother started. The easiest way to do it is start with Braggs or Eden Organics (both have mother in them). I tend to use unpasteurized apple juice like Simply Apple. I mix a cup or so of the Braggs with the apple juice in a glass container like a Mason jar. I put a coffee filter over it with a rubber band and put in a dark place for a couple months. A cloudy, gelatinous mass will form on the top. That's the mother, that's what makes the acetic acid.

You can always try looking at any health food stores in your area. They should have some unpasteurized ACV.

I heard on a thread somewhere that if you give ACV to your flock about a month before you plan on incubating you will hatch out more female chicks. I have never tryed this..but I might just for the heck of it!

I just read thru the entire thread--saw it a few days ago and knew it deserved a bit of time. THe health benefits are remarkable. It's ability to increase the females in a hatch--well I do have to test that out the more pullets the better. Will try Whole FOods for the ACV and make my own.

My house is getting full: lambs, chicks, and now to add jars of vinegar and yogurt! What could be better!
