THF Nick Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi all, I've just received my ACV from Omlet (super service btw) and wondered how much I should put into my super glug? Thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 We usually put a capful in, don't know if that's the right amount. (I suppose it depends on how big the cap is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 A small splash I have a sports bottle full and just add a squeeze when I fill up the water I dont think it needs to be more scientific than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 According to the blurb in the Omlet shop, the dose is 1/4 tsp per drinker. **Click** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compostwoman Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 In the chicken keeping course notes it says 10%, so 10 ml per 1 L of water. A teaspoon is 5 ml, btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Sorry if I am sounding a bit thick but What does apple cider vinegar do? Do I need to get any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compostwoman Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Asking a question you don't know the answer to is not being thick.... ACV helps hens to absorb calcium from food (needed for stronger eggshells) and also acidifies their gut, making it less ideal for worms to multiply...not a cure for worms but it, and garlic, and diatomaceous earth all help, if one doesn't want to routinely use chemical based wormers, like flubenvet. I worn with flubenvet once a year and the rest of the time ,rotate the ground they all live on and use ACV, garlic and verm- as a preventative measure. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
