    Broiler chicks sneezing and shivering

    I have five broiler chicks and they are eleven days old. I have been raising them in a 10x10 pen outside, with a heat lamp in one corner. Before I used it for the chicks, it just sat there open so my other chickens have gone in and out as they please. The reason I mention this is to say that the...

    Apple Cider Vinegar for baby Chicks?

    Is apple cider vinegar good for baby chicks? Someone from the hatchery said to use it diluted in their water when I get my chicks? Is it beneficial? Immune boost? I got the the ACV “with the mother” which is raw. I’m just using this and medicated feed. Do I need more supplements to add?

    Is it bad to put apple cider vinegar in a chrome waterer?

    Every once in a while I add some vinegar to their water, but that's nit the main topic. I use a chrome bowl as their waterer, but I've read before that apple cider vinegar rusts metal. Though, my bowl is chrome, not metal. My question is if it'll still rust the metal.

    Pardon My Ignorance, But ....
