Looney Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I use garlic powder that is also used for horses. I think they sell it in the omlet shop if you want to have a look.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkisland Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Horsey garlic powder from the feed merchant will be much cheaper than using up your Shwartz Oh, and it doesn't make the poo smell nice exactly, but it is reputed to make it smell less!

Hen Watch Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Err..... not nice smelling ..... but much better. I use Garlic Powder too which I buy from horse supply shops (look up Tack Shops in the yellow pages). Many brands out there. Baileys, NAF etc. http://www.baileyshorsefeeds.co.uk/whatproduct/supplements/garlic.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Can somebody explain the reason for wanting odorless "poo"? I don't quite get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 It stops the neighbours complaining and keeps the flies away. Also full of useful vitamins, minerals and trace elements, and even better still, rats are not supposed to care for the taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernchicken Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 thanks , the rat deterrent part sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Clucks-minusOne Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 This may be a dumb qustion but does it make the eggs taste of garlic too? I thought strong tasting foods were not recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have heard that it can affect the egg taste but only with a lot of powder added. Probably more than is needed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henhathnofury Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Bokashi bran is good too. It firms up the poo and I swear that a nice firm poo smells less than a sticky watery one. I have gone right off my easter eggs now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
