Saronne Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I've just tried a few drops of Citricidal in a mug of warm water to see whether it would get rid of my sore throat (my understanding is that it's for humans, right?) I had to tip it out as it's really bitter! My hens don't seem to mind drinking water laced with this stuff. Can chickens taste bitter?

coco Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I tried it in a glass of water when I had a cold. it was awful. My daft OH didn't read the label and took it neat, it made him physically sick and he could taste it for hours after. The chickens don't seem to mind it though although I put ACV in the water as well so that might hide the taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Shirl Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I have it in cold water three times a day. I can't taste anything, just water. Must be an age thing. Maybe I'm losing my senses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Maybe the temperature of the water affects the flavour..? (P.S. Re: age and tastebuds, I'm no spring chicken myself! ) Saronne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I sometimes take it in juice, can't taste it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
