giving the chickens garlic?

[Gonzo]

Does anyone know the benefits of giving the chickens garlic? I cannot remember to save my life!

I don't know the full benefits, but will tell you that the garlic will pass along to the eggs. If you don't want garlic tasting eggs, don't feed your chickens garlic!

There are many other things, like ACV, that will benefit your chickens health without have any adverse affects on the eggs.

I love your avatar, BTW!

A moderate amount of garlic won't affect the eggs. I sprinkle some garlic powder on some of their treat food when I cook for my peeps. They seem to love it!

I don't give them raw garlic or onions, just leftovers from cooked foods. Or foods cooked just for them.
