Vinegar in water

[jennifersmith326]

How much?

 

[Yay Chicks!]

1 TB per Gallon I believe. Do not use in a metal waterer as it is corrosive.

what is the purpose of this?

 

[BellevueOmlet]

Yes, are you using it to clean or as an additive?

Apple Cider Vinegar (unfiltered) in the water is good for a couple of things, as I understand it. 1) It keep slime at bay in the waterer 2) It aids in digestion. I was given to understand that it helps also with vitamin absorption.

I drink it myself with hot water and honey.

As an additive. Not the white vinegar that you may wash your windows with.

If you get a mother of vinegar and make your own, not only will you have a steady supply, but you can feed the old vinegar mothers, that sink to the bottom of the jar, to the chickens. Full of probiotics, and the girls wolf 'em down. Really fine tasting vinegar, too, really good for salad dressing & such. Why keep buying Braggs whne you can make your own?
