Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

Does anyone give ACV to their chickens? What benefits have you found? Is it the regular kind or the raw kind or is it something special for animals? How much to add to the water? What about garlic powder? I got some from the feed store but am not sure how much to mix with the food.

thanks

Good question.

I know that the ACV is not the refined stuff you find in the supermarket.

I'm just waiting for some to be delivered - I'd thought I'd put a bit in their water although I'm not completely sure why other than it is meant to make them less susceptible to worms and is good for overall health.

 

Not tried garlic powder either but I think that is supposed to sweeten the smell of the droppings a bit.

 

I'll be interested in what everyone else says.

I gave mine ACV when I first got them but didn't replace it when it ran out. To be honest I can't say I've noticed any difference. They do get garlic in their pellets as it makes the poo smell better and is supposed to keep the flies away in hot weather.

I bought some ACV from the farm and give it to them alternate weeks in their water and they have Battles poultry drink in their water on the other weeks. As for the garlic granules I thought it made their poo smell more / worse - just pooey garlic. Yuck.

I use both . Can't really say if the ACV (horsey, unrefined stuff!) works or not but I still give it to them . The garlic powder really does work, in my opinion. Perhaps the powder is better than granules?

[Luvachicken]

dumb question from me as usual - where do you get the garlic powder ?

From an equestrian shop....or the Omlet Shop.

I use both as well. The ACV makes acidity in their stomachs and helps to deter worms (I cannot get Flubenvet in France) so I am trying alternate solutions. The Garlic in any form (powder, granules or fresh clove) does in my opinion work, their poo does not smell so bad.

I have been giving them the ACV for a few days now and I swear they like it. When the new girls arrived I put out a metal dish of water in case they were very thirsty. They all started gulping it down like there was no tomorrow. I put out the open Glug and they are drinking a lot. They are lazy little things, they prefer the open glug to the one with the little metal pipes at the bottom. I guess I will have a week on, week off of ACV see how they go. The garlic powder has been added and they didn't seem to notice. I like the smell though.

Both are great conditioners, and the garlic has the added advantage of being mildly ant-viral and anti-bacterial. Always get the raw, live ACV though; you will see threads of the 'mother' in it if you hold it up to the light. I use one from Crossgate Bioenergetics.

 

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a well-known food supplement, water purifier and natural antibiotic. Made from whole sweet red apples, rich in minerals and trace elements it's as much a remedy as a food supplement.

 

The ACV you see in the shops is clear as it has been pasteurised to remove the impurities and make it look better. Natural ACV is non-pasteurised so it is literally "alive". It looks cloudy and contains the "mother" which is a cobweb like substance found at the bottom of the bottle. The gel like substance is the pectin which is found naturally in apples. This is what gives it all the health benefits, no known pathogens can survive in raw ACV.

 

 

If you're worried about the garlic begin smelly, then try the mint and garlic that I use - they seem to love it!

 

 

I hope that this helps
