Garlic clove in water for worming chickens?

[sourland]

Garlic does impact the immune system and thereby provides some parasite resistance, but it is not an effective "wormer." The good news is that your eggs will be pre seasoned.

I agree with this. If you use these methods from the beginning of your birds' life, they may be healthy enough to not attract parasites. If your birds already have parasites, these will not work to 'worm' them like the chemical wormers do.

Hello there. I am very interested in the post you made about garlic.I have 35 hens and two cockerels. I would like to know how much garlic I should crush into how much water. Should I change the garlic everyday? can i chop it up and add to their food?
Does the garlic doesn't taint the egg. I swap eggs with friends and our local pub, so eggs have to taste like egg.
Lastly, I have a Chocolate Labrador. How many cloves should I consider giving her?
Sorry, so many questions.
Kindest regards, Polly
