    Chicken love garlic and the flavor carries over to the eggs and are great for pasta deviled eggs and just eggs for breakfast!

      Absolutely, Garlic is great for their health. I started using garlic and papaya leaves and stop those antibiotics, they are working for my chickens. I try to reduce the use of antibiotics and use various herbs which is proven effective.

    My Grandad fed his Chickens on Corn and Kitchen Scraps. Literally nothing else.
    They did fine.
    This isn't as hard as folks make it out to be. Commercial bagged pellet, specially created for Chicken, has only really been a thing for about 75 years.
    Chickens survived and thrived under domestication for literally thousands of years without pellet.

    Backyard? Mine is lying in a box in my closet, and loves to perch on the back of my computer desk. Spoiled, yes; but my eggs are home delivered! To old to maintain a flock, I have two! whole grain, low salt, low sugar is actually the same diet I am on. They have pellets available; they forage at least 5 hours a day; and they get a plate of their on at dinner time. NO fast food. I can't eat avocado seeds/skins, peach pits, or apple seeds, so they don't get that either. Same with cakes, cookies, pies, potato chips, ice cream.etc.

    My grandparents fed their chickens potato skins , my dad does & so do I and I don't believe it will kill a chicken to eat potato peeling , good Grief.

      He said, GREEN potato skins, which are not good for anyone to eat. Green potatoes can be unsafe to eat because they may contain solanine, a neurotoxin that can cause health problems. Solanine is produced by a potato's skin cells when exposed to light, which also causes the skin to turn green. Solanine protects potatoes from animals and gives them a bitter taste. Eating large quantities of green potatoes can cause digestive issues, headaches, and neurological problems, and in extreme cases, death.

    Yes, garlic can be beneficial for chickens when used in moderation. Here's why:
    * Antimicrobial Properties: Garlic contains allicin, a compound with strong antimicrobial properties. This can help support their immune system and potentially aid in fighting off minor infections.
    * Improved Egg Quality: Some studies suggest that feeding chickens garlic may lead to slightly larger eggs with improved yolk color.
    * Natural Parasite Control: Garlic may have some deterrent effects on certain parasites.
    How to Feed Garlic to Chickens:
    * Fresh Garlic:
    * Crush or mince a small amount of fresh garlic and mix it into their feed.
    * Start with a very small amount to avoid upsetting their stomachs.
    * Garlic Powder:
    * Sprinkle a small amount of garlic powder over their feed.
    Important Notes:
    * Moderation is Key: Too much garlic can upset their digestive system.
    * Observe Your Chickens: Monitor their behavior and droppings for any signs of discomfort.
    * Not a Cure-All: Garlic is not a substitute for proper nutrition and veterinary care.
    Disclaimer: This information is for general knowledge and guidance only. Always consult with a veterinarian or experienced poultry farmer for specific advice on feeding your chickens.

    This is incorrect. You absolutely can feed chickens garlic & it can be put in their water as well (for health benefits). It's onions that chickens can't have. Everyone I know feeds their chickens mealworms.

      You can feed them garlic and it also has health benefits if put chopped up and put in their water (it must be allowed to sit for a few minutes after chopping before it goes into the water for full benefits). Chickens should not eat onions
