stevo79 569 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Just leave garlic in there water all the time, I leave about 4-5 cloves in and just add fresh water when it's nearly empty, so they drink the all the garlic water. They even start to grow after a while. Atb? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chicken_man 1,651 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 There are a lot of items on the market. Most of them are pure marketing, bandwagon things ( not needed ). ACV, Garlic, Grass, Herbage, good dust bath, or provide one. Worming I definitely do. Looking, checking the bird's regular, see they have a good sheen on them, and not moping. If they don't have access to grass, get them some turfs. Shell and grit also if no access. Atb 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,301 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Cider vinegar my friend. Does everything for your birds system. Highly thought of. iT'S ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT PER MIX SO OBVIOUSLY BE CAREFUL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
