Magic water for your chicks is essential!✅
I typically skip the packets they give you at the feed store when you buy your chicks and make my own “magic water”. In my opinion it’s better!
Especially if your chicks have been transported over a couple of days, they need the best start they can get and a good immune boost.
✅Adding these simple ingredients is easy AND effective!
✨Magic Water Recipe:
➡️1 gallon of water (for the first few days when chicks are brand new, I use WARM water)
➡️2-3 cloves of garlic (whole or crushed)
➡️2 TBSP of apple cider vinegar
➡️2-3 drops of oregano essential oil
‼️When choosing an oil to add in I recommend sourcing a high quality essential oil. You can also opt to choose fresh oregano or the dried herb especially if you aren’t comfortable using the essential oil.
🍯You can also add about 1/2 cup of raw honey to this mixture if you’d like!
These simple extras that you can add into your chicks water will make all the difference. It will boost their immune systems, improve digestion, fight illness and also helps prevent pasty butt!
Chicks can be pretty vulnerable in those first few days so magic water is a go-to for us! However, you can even give this to your adult chickens too! It reaps benefits for all ages!

I loathe that waterer.
Going on for years I’ve never seen someone actually put the cover on. I have to straight up with my feet. How do people put that water thing together after the water is in

Is this good for adult hens?
We have an aluminum waterer. Great solution for the folks worried about the oil breaking down the plastic. I’m going to start this thank you!
