Re: [CHICKENS-101] Feeding charcoal...

 

I keep a bottle of Charcoal on hand for medicinal purposes.  It comes in gel caps in the form I buy.  Is it available in a way it could be added to the chicken feed?  In case I should want to turn my white chickens black!

Hi All,

Here is a link that some may be interested in.  We are starting to make charcoal (aka Biochar, Char) from wood & weeds to add to our garden.  Charcoal is great for absorbing toxins from the bloodstream as well. 


Feeding charcoal improves chicken litter as fertilizer

When charcoal is used in the feed, the bacteria in the manure convert the uric acid into ammonium, not ammonia. This makes the litter less odorous or harmful, and can make it a better nitrogen fertilizer for crops, too.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this group.  You have so much knowledge & I can be such an idiot sometimes.
