Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I went to buy hemcore at my local horsey supplier and saw they had garlic powder. I didn't buy it as I wasn't sure it was suitable for hens (it was for horses, obviously). They did have a lower strength powder - Chinese as opposed to American (I think). Would that be OK for hens or not? I no longer have the tub for the powder I've been using so can't check if it gives a strength or not (the horsey ones didn't anyway so don't suppose that would help ). Anyone know?

Olly Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The one I've just had delivered is described as 'Chinese Garlic' - it's an oval tub, different to the previous one. As far as I know, it's the same stuff, you just give a bit more if it's a horse?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The one I've got is NAF american super strong (or similar - tub is in the shed and I'm too cold to go out there to check!) I didn't even consider it might be too strong - the chooks seem fine on it and I love the smell of garlic so it doesn't worry me. I put about a teaspoon or so in the grub when I fill it up.
