Edit to fix long link.

As a fledgeling chicken keeper I will be interested to hear experienced ideas on this.

bears out what a lot of us knew all along  . This is why I have 3 drinkers - 1 with ACV, 1 with garlic and the 3rd with plain water 
Good article Tony, thanks for posting

I always say that the natural treatments and plants are the best, they have been around for centuries, thanks for posting the information.

As Joyfull said, lots of us do advocate the use of ACV and garlic in the drinking water, although we may not have known the scientific test results.

Not sure I'd want my bum sprayed with garlic water, but if that helps keeps the mites off, can't be bad!

And if it works on you GrannieAnnie, you could then try it on the chickens!
