Hello Phyllis. the ACV goes in the rinse water. I would suggest 2 cups per gallon of water. This is not for them to drink. Rinsing only!

For drinking about 1 Tsp per gallon.

Thanks for asking.

I doubt the plain vinegar will give you the full effect in the drinking water in the coops. I would use plain vinegar for cleaning, but Braggs isn’t that expensive for the amount that you add to the water.

I’ve also made my own using the Mother from Braggs. My wife took a crack at making hard cider. It turned out way too dry and wasn’t very good, so we just converted it all to ACV.

That is a gross overstatement. Acetic acid can be made through various chemical pathways. It’s given off, for instance, as part of the curing process for silicone caulk. Most industrial acetic acid is made from methanol and carbon monoxide. The methanol is derived from methane, that is, natural gas. So, the acetic acid is not derived from crude oil, but from natural gas.

Most white vinegar available in grocery stores for consumers is actually a byproduct of the booze industry (that is, derived from grain alcohol). It is fermented via the same process as apple cider vinegar.

Bottom line is that it’s pretty unlikely that the vinegar you’d buy in a store as white vinegar is unlikely to be derived from natural gas, but I would assume the majority of cleaning products that are vinegar based probably have vinegar derived from natural gas.

My next article will probably be on Guineas! I have had several people ask me about them! I am sure your Dr will encourage your use of pure ACV. 🙂

Hi Gina, Thank you for your response. I was not aware that vinegar was a petroleum by product. We love our ACV here at Chicken Review.

Hi Dale, What a wonderful testimony! God is certainly good to us when we try helping ourselves! Your comment is very inspirational.

Thank you and God Bless!

Hi Lisa, I like you would recommend plain vinegar for all my cleaning duties! Why the writer uses the ACV, I don’t know. It is her choice to do so I guess. Maybe the ACV is more readily available in Australia? I am just not sure. After researching more I find your comment true about the parasites, mites and lice. Although it may discourage lice and mites it does not kill them. I have used ACV for a couple of years now and as you stated it is the “Mother” that has the good stuff. Maybe that was what she was calling the trace minerals? Thank you so much for your comment. I am going to go in and add some disclosure to the article of my own.

I have been taking vinegar casually for a little while. I wasn’t sure of the correct dosage to give me maximunm results. I have Afib, COPD, Arthritis, and HPB. I have lost about 40#, but I feel if I were taking it correctly and regularly I would reap more benefits. Your note has been very encouraging for me. Thank you Dale James., God bless….
