Yes, it's actually very good for them and is used as a natural wormer, a VERY powerful antibiotic, a cure for all kinds of infections - viral, fungal, AND bacterial, a cure and preventive for colds and flu, and many other uses. Garlic has huge potential as a medicine, both with people and pets.

Chickens can be fed garlic cloves either whole (if you are feeding one or two birds individually), or can be fed chopped garlic. It's good to soak and store the cloves in vinegar, or make garlic oil (be careful with oil though as it can invite botulism).
