Did you get any ACV Knobby? I went online to buy it but couldn't get any. There must be someone selling it mail order. I ended up getting it from Brickhill Pet Supplies, Brickhill, Milton Keynes.

higher nature sells acv but it is very expensive. I can't remember who else they said sold it, do a google for 'apple cider vinegar' but it needs to be the cloudy one which the higher nature one is.

Countryfayre do ACV mail order

OFF TOPIC

but why is it apple cider vinegar? surely all cider is made from apples. If it were cider apple vinegar i could understand. vinegar made from cider apples makes sense

Nigel,
The one I have been sold is Cider Vinegar, ( no Apple in the name) its the cloudy one. I asked for ACV and that is what she gave me. The chickens do seem to have settled well with it.

I like the Gar-Rich: ACV plus garlic. I got mine from one of the shows last Autumn. Its real cloudy stuff.... They also do ACV on its own (Super-Gar, I think?)

Their website is here:

And this is what they say about Gar-Rich:

- Aids digestion, helping to break down minerals and fats and assists the bird to assimulate proteins and convert food better.
- Lowers the Ph of the digestive tract, rendering it to be 90% less welcoming to Pathogens.
- Provides a natural source of Potassium and other important trace minerals.
- Helps to improve fertility and general well being.
- Depress growth of Algae in the drinker.
- Helps clean the plumage of grease and old bloom, when used in baths.
- Excellent for show birds.
- Clears respiratory tracts.

get some new drinkers........or get one new drinker and put the acv in that and plain water in the others, see which gets emptied first! My girls drink less when the acv isn't in the water.
