Hi! Is it okay if I add these three things to my chickens water?ACV, Honey, and Garlic powder!

Honey is a natural sugar with some antibacterial properties, yet it can also harbor dangerous pathogens like Clostridium botulinum spores, which is why it's often avoided for infants and parrot diets. While I don’t personally base my decisions on this, a research project I completed a few years ago revealed an astonishing variety of bacteria within, including strains that raised some concerns.

That said, compared to the microbial horrors lurking in chicken droppings, spoiled food, or general environmental exposure, honey might be a lesser risk—so maybe we’re just being a bit paranoid.

Coming from a bird nerd- fresh clean water.

Ok, thanks for the awesome information!!

Your condiments would do better as a rub before baking. Just wait to season the bird right before cooking.
