How much garlic to give my hen?

[LhickenChicken]

I want to get my chickens some garlic but I'm unsure how much to give them. I have ten hens and one rooster, how much do I give them? Do I add it in their water?

boosts immune system

edit:
Take a look at this quote from a Veterinary study talking about garlic as a supplement in the poultry diet:

"Garlic is the king of the medicinal plants... It has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiprotozoal properties. Moreover, it boosts the immune system, improves body weight gain, heightens the digestibility of ingredients, decreases bad cholesterol, and also augments the meat quality parameters."
