I added ACV to the water for my new chickens (a week ago), am I meant to add it all the time or only one week in 4. ( I thought I'd read 1 in 4 somewhere).

It is supposed to help with stress. I also read that as it's high in potassium it has other benefits regarding health Back to top CP Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 14105 Location: Hampshire Posted: Thu May 05, 2005 10:42 am    Post subject: S'posed to help get rid of worms, too.
