garlic

[phily]

Hi, I am lucky enough to have 3 lovely hens. My girls are 2 gingernuts and one silkie. They all get on well with each other.
I give them tablespoon of cider vinegar with garlic. after reading some comments I have now found out garlic is bad for them. Is it just in the form of fresh garlic or is it in any form.

To make it clear: Garlic is NOT bad for chickens at all. ACV and garlic are SUPER good and healthy for chickens. Here's an article that I wrote.
