Garlic As Worm Treatment/Preventative

[Bella Dominique]

I had a neighbor who used to feed his Rottweiler minced meat with loads of garlic everyday thinking it was doing him good. His dog died of Leukemia when it was 9 years of age.

I think loads of anything can be dangerous

Hi Songstress,
A quick response to your question. We've had chickens for nearly five years. We put garlic in their breakfast twice a week. We give them a bit of cider vinegar or Manuka honey in their water a few times a week. We also feed them the seeds from squash and pumpkins. We've never had issues with worms. I've also put oregano in their food. They love it. If all these natural foods are good for humans why wouldn't they be for our animals.
I'm not going to say that we will never encounter problems with worms but so far so good. Everyone has their own ways of taking care of their flocks. Do what you think is right and you'll learn from it. Best of luck.

How much garlic do you give them?

Valbazen twice a year. My hens are all over 8 years old, and all but one still lays.

I'll save them the trouble. "Fenbendazole"

Interesting Read - Ok, I admit, my reading habits are perhaps "unusual".

DE around garden plants helps to deter slugs.

When I first got chicks, I read DE was something I'd want to have on hand to combat various chicken pests, so I bought a bag. Then I read about its hazards.

So I have plenty to keep the *&%$! slugs off my plants.

Ha! Same! 🖐
