Make sure the cider vinegar is unpasturised as it has far better medicinal properties. Its supposed to be good for numerous things includung joint problems in humans, i drink my cider vinegar that i buy for the animlals from our local countrystore.

Hi Langdon.

You need the type they sell for livestock...horses and sheep. It's rougher than the supermarket stuff and a lot cheaper.

going off topic have just looked at your website castlefarm, only read the title page, sorry you've lost a good bird. Your opinions on breeding look worth studying so i've earmarked your site for further reading at a quieter moment.
