welcome the forum chicken mummy, hope you enjoy yourself here.
As AC says the cloudy one is better but the more refined is better than none at all. So continue to use it 7 days per month until you can get the better one. Hope that helps

Horse supply stockists are an excellent place to look for it - you get a good 3 or 4 litres for about £10. A lot cheaper than Tesco Finest Wink

Thanks. I wasn't sure of quantity either - so have been using a capful ? 5ml to about 3 litres. Enough, not enough? It's much easier looking after my cats - put water down, put food down, refill as necessary!

you dilute it to 2% ~ 20 mls to the litre.
Be careful if you get it from a horsey place, ask if it is cloudy. I got mine from one and it isn't cloudy and I never thought to ask, just assumed because it was a horse place that it would be cloudy. Have fun

don't forget to put it in a plastic container - it will corrode the galvanised ones.
