Vinegar in water

[Couboys10]

Yes. That is why you don't get advice from Facebook or Youtube.

If you have made ACV safe for human consumption at home, it is also safe for addition to your chicken's water. and assuming you haven't pastuerized your homemade ACV, it will contain "the mother", that is, live culture.

I'm not actually a fan of ACV in water generally - it has specific use in specific situation, that situation having to do with the pH of the water that you are giving your chickens... But fear of liver failure is a long, long, long, long, long long way from my reasons why I'm not an ACV fan.

Thanks for the response.

Well, it was a smallholding group... I haven't made ACV though, I've made red wine vinegar from my own grapes, it isn't filtered and has no additives.

What I wonder is can I use this in place of ACV and will it have the same benefits or not? Will the tannin levels be harmful to my ladies?

If tannin levels are high, they will avoid eating it. Just that. Tannins make something astringent LONG before they make it dangerous. Imagine eating a tea bag.
High tannin levels.
Not dangerous.

Now its actually a little more complicated than that, but I generally assume that if a company is in the business of making feed (or milling feed) that they won't go out and deliberately create a product which is unpalatable to its intended consumers or downright dangerous. and thus will select for lower tannin ingredients where available, or otherwise compensate for their inclusion.
