Speaking of soup with dumplings! My ladies went ga-ga over it and were diving into the dish so fast that they had it all over their faces, necks, heads and feet! They were hilarious to watch. I never knew a dumpling could disappear that fast! Oh, and my dumplings have parsley in them, if that...
I've never had our eggs taste like garlic from giving the girls garlic in their oatmeal. For my whole batch, enough for our 24 chickens, I only put 1 to 2 cloves of garlic. No garlic tasting eggs yet!
When I give my girls their warm oatmeal, I add healing garlic and olive oil and I also add in a couple chopped hard boiled eggs, shells and all. They gobble it up quicker than anything. They didn't care for the plain oatmeal either, but when I add the rest, they can't get enough! Hope you try...
