Should I use ACV when I have Fertrell nutribalancer in the feed?

The feed I got for my chicks has Fertrell probiotics in it and I'm wondering if I can/should use ACV as well. Do you use the ACV at any age? My chicks are two days old and I just got them home today. Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Nate

IMO I think since your feed already has probiotics, you don't need to give them ACV, you might have some watery poop giving them both. I would give them one or the other.
What is the name of your feed? I have been trying to buy medicated starter feed with probiotics but the nutrena naturewise is not available in my area.

I found a farm a couple hours away that grinds their own feed. The guys is a Fertrell dealer as well as selling his own feed so he throws it into the mix. The chicks seems to like it and don't seem to have any issues so far. Thanks for the advice; I'll hold off the ACV for now.

Thanks a lot for the info, too bad I cannot get it in my area, however it gives me a good idea, maybe I should add the probiotics into the feed, I just have to figure out the amount.

If you want an idea I can give you contact info for this feed dealer and you can ask him. I don't know if you're using the Fertrell probiotics or it's probably not an apples to apples comparison. If you'd like that information just let me know.
Thanks!

Nate, sorry it took me so long to read your post. Yes please send me the info on your feed supplier, I might be able to contact him to get an idea on the mix. Thanks in advance.
