Hi all could anyone let me know how much Garlic to add to food/water for my chucks 

[Mickle]

Sounds interesting Tony and sorry I cannot help
Fish meal if fed in high proportions taints both egg and Pork flavour, maybe Garlic will eradicate the need to worm with chemicals and deliver a very tasty end product.

Eggs will probably taste like dodo and kissing them will be out of the question though :-)

I just crush one clove into a water container (leaving it whole just squashed with the flat side of a knife) and most love that water. It has no effect on the taste of their eggs. After the water has been changed a few times I then chuck the garlic out and they all race to get it

After someone on here suggested it, I bought some garlic intended as a horse feed supplement and I give my lot a decent pinch every day in their feed.  It doesn't taint eggs either, but does stop their pooh being smelly and mine love it as well     

Nothing prevents the need for chemical worming however.  Mine are on the Flubenvet feed from tomorrow and I wouldn't rely on anything else for that job

I treat the girls as I treat the family and use lots. I chop a few/ about four cloves and sling them in.

Nanny goes racing up and beaks them out and eats them

tried crushing them but she still gets them. Her eggs taste fine. Expect her blood pressure is great

Yes, it is really good apparently and ginger. They both act like an antiseptic to the body so I have read. It is good to find something that is really tasty that is good for you. A lot of the stuff we really like isn't
Dark chocolate is also looking like it is good too.

Neither am I really. I am one of the 'if it tastes good and feels good carry on regardless, brigade' 

Although having said that I do make sure we eat healthily, and  with lots of treats! just don't think about it too much. It is nice to know that dark chocolate is good for you tho'.  And so is red wine and I have seen an advert for chocolate wine in a cookery mag. Must check it out:D
