Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinager

I like the idea of adding this to the waterers. Our well is potable, but not sterile. Slime is a problem... I'm betting that it is going to be nasty in the waterer when it gets outside.

Watch out for eyes when squirting acids. Eyes are sensitive to chemical burns. Shouldn't hurt the feet, though.

For humans, try a tablespoon in your tea. I use a little honey too. Surprisingly, it adds a nice flavor. I actually like it.

You know when I started this thread I never expected to learn quite so much! I have learned how good it is for our animals and ourselves as well, as how to make it!

I read an article in backyard poultry about ACV it says you can use it to clean you flock before a show The April/May edition. Lots of info

Can someone please explain the "mother" bit for me?

Thanks!

It's fine particles of stuff that settles to the bottom of the jar-at least as far as I can tell.

Backyard Poultry Magazine has an article in the April/May '08 issue on using ACV.

As far as i know " mother " is just a bacteral scum that will form in any vinegar given enough time.

Besides the acidity, it causes the metal to corrode, the birds will refuse to drink it, and it could end up hurting them, read the other articles in BYC about acv.
