percy049 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Today I found the chickens' water to be what I thought very dirty, but it was in fact algae. Just wanted to warn everyone and to check just in case I think Apple Cider Vinegar should help combat this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 My drinkers seem to grow algae in them very quickly. They get washed out every week to keep them clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Wash them every day..OCD at its best. No Algie here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MummyHen Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I try and wash and change the water daily but sometimes I'm a bad mummyhen. When I give the run and cubes a washout at the weekends I use Milton or similar to washout the grub and glug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 My post above makes me look very slovenly! I change the water every day/every other day, but clean the drinkers out once a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
