We have just had 765mm rainfall within 30 hours (late Fri night to early Sun morning) so everything here is pretty soaked. Just a reminder to those copping/copped the east coast low that it may be a good idea to give ACV in water until things dry up, then do a preventative cocci drench with Baycox.

Very wet underfoot here too Tiaris started ACV when serious rain started after a couple days fair weather will Baycox

Sorry to hear you got drenched guys, but glad to hear you are not underwater.

We're fine thanks. Others copped it far worse than us. We live on a ridge & usually get cut off for a day or 2 when these storms happen but don't really care as long as the family is safe, we have food & dry firewood. At least the tanks are all full now. Forecast to get to 28 deg again in the next couple of days here - that'll dry things up a bit.

Just reading this thread, what rate of ACV do you guys recommend per litre ?

5ml/litre

I don't really measure it out - I just put a splash into the watering can (very scientific). I've heard of others using up to 20ml/litre. I think 5 - 10 ml is good. More than that it really starts to taint the flavour of the water.

Do you dose your birds every time the aviary floor gets wet?
