Cider Vinegar

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

Been reading a bit about it, seems to have a lot of plus's to it..

 

Whens the best time to give it..?? Canny it be over used..?? And is there any negatives to using it..??

[Guest Owen]

There is nothing wrong with cider vinegar. The big problem is getting the good stuff. The best stuff should not have been subjected to heat and not over strained. You can use it as often as you like, providing you don't over dose. A little and often is the key. About 10 ml to the litre, or a bit less, is OK, I think.

Someone on here will be bound to know the actual amount.

little and often is rite i give all my birds cider vinegar but only 5mls to 1 ltr

I get the Apple Cider vinegar at the Horse places normally £7 for a gallon drum it still has the little bits of apple and things in very good stuff & much cheaper than the supermarkets i think the horsey people use it a lot also

i always use it after treatments,or anythink sweet

i have it in when i am breeding ybs most of the time once the ybs are rung in the nest i start giving them it & the feathers quality on the ybs are amazing

It is also very good for clymidia infections in ybs in the nest ((( This is sometimes the cheesey looking stuff in the birds throat down the slit in the curtain what looks like Canker )))

I would recommend using anything acidic now and then Lemon juice is also very good on the corn

So would it be ok to dip my birds in cider vinegar, if so whats the ratio with water to add.

(I am entering a few racers in a show in 3 weeks just thought it may be a good idea to dip them).

Cant beleive a small can of harkers spray for the birds in my pet shop is about £9 something!
