Apple Cider Vinegar for Your Chickens Water?!
We’ve seen vitamin packs that are sold to add to our chicken’s water and we’ve used them from time to time, but there are actually some great ways to give your flock a boost without using store bought powders.
Adding organic, unpasteurized Apple cider vinegar with the mother to their water is an excellent way to help our chickens especially during the hot summer months. Just adding one table spoon to one gallon of water can help reduce the heat stress. We found significant improvement in our layer hens and went from 2 eggs a day to 12 within just a few days of adding apple cider vinegar to their water.
It increases their antioxidants and helps get rid of bad gut bacteria. Apple cider vinegar improves digestion and the absorption of nutrients. It has been proven to help ward off coccidiosis and to keep it at bay if it’s been an issue in your flock. It is also a great anti diarrheal, a lice treatment, and helps keep algae and bacteria from forming in their water.
There are some claims to apple cider vinegar being used to replace antibiotics as well, although we have not yet tried this. It definitely keeps them feeling good and has improved their overall health.
Be sure not to overuse apple cider vinegar as it can lead to issues this way too, and because of corrosive properties do not add it to metal water containers.
