Using Garlic As A Wormer???

[treeowl]

I Was Just Told That Garlic Can Be Used To Worm Your Chickens.

Is This True? Do Chickens Need Wormed? If So How Often?

Yes, it is true but it does make the eggs taste funny. They need to be wormed if they have worms. I use food grade DE (diatomaceous earth) in their feed on a regular basis which is supposed to prevent worms and deter other insects.
