garlic powder

[kelliepulido]

I have switched feed from tsc to the farm grainery that makes its own chicken food.The layer and starter/grower is 18% which is better than dumors which is 16%.Anyways reading about the benefits of the garlic helping with immune system etc.so I have been adding a couple dashs of the powder to the daily food mash that i mix up for them.I also have been adding flax seed,1 tsp of canola oil and some corn meal.Somebody told me about adding h20 to the mash and boy they just go crazy over it now.I have added a can of corn or someother veg.at times, and some ground hamburger.YOu think I should just add the supplements a couple days a wk.or daily the garlic,oil etc.I also add the acv to the h20 too.Just want healthy shiney feathers and happy birds.

Sounds great to me. I wish I could get 18% layer here. The flax and ACV have worked wonders here. I bet your birds are beautiful!

We didn't go with flashy breeds this year but I must say they are all beautiful! We got six black star's, six ee's and six blue andalusians. They have had acv, yogurt and ground flax seeds since they were two weeks old. They were bigger than I wanted by the time it was time to move from the basement to the coop. Almost all of them are laying at 6 months. Good nutrition is the key to great chickens. Keep up the good work it will always pay off.
