Yes or No to Garlic

[terbear67]

Hello and Happy New Year! We cooked a big meal today used a ton of garlic to cover the whole roast. Am I able to give our girls any leftovers? Thanks!

Garlic is toxic to poultry.

Garlic is toxic to poultry.

Cooked garlic as well? I've heard people giving in water too as antiparasitic. I did a little of that with my very first day olds, they didn't seem to care for it much, but they all grew up healthy.

Do a Google search for allium and poultry. Garlic is an allium. Alliums are a known toxin to poultry.

I will, I'm surprised people even discuss it as a home remedy if it's killing birds. I don't do it myself.

Technically yes, but they'd have to eat a significant amount to start running into issues. In fact garlic in small amounts is actually beneficial (although it's not the wonder cure all many claim it to be either). Unless you used like 50 cloves of garlic the amount in the roast is of no concern. Let them at it

Sounds good! Our little dinosaurs shall feast tomorrow!
