Garlic Powder to stop smelly Poo!

Recommended Posts

About the same - a scoopful to about a Grubsworth of pellets (I mix mine up in a jar with limestone flour and grit). I don't think you can overdose - add a scoop, and if you don't think it is working then increase the amount a little bit each time.

 

I wouldn't be without it!

I'm thinking that Limestone flour must be a bit like 'Nutrobal' that I add to my Torties food to keep her shell in good condition :think::think:

 

It is just calcium carbonate , whereas Nutrobal has vitamins too.

 

with garlic, bokashi and chicken spice , do i need limestone flour too? and what for?

 

It is a calcium supplement Barbara...useful for helping make the eggshells and bones strong, and calcium is necessary for the muscular contractions involved in pushing the egg out.

I put it all in my grubs Barbara, the limestone flour is for calcium to make nice strong eggshells. I also pop in a tiny bit of mixed corn to make it interesting and some mixed grit even though they also have that in a separate dish as well. Mine are in the run all day so if yours free range all the time the grit is not so neccesary.

 

I have cut down on the garlic as it was putting them off the pellets, but with a smaller amount of garlic and the bran my chooks poos are (fingers crossed) top notch and as they should be with no odour :D
