No,not at all. Garlic has long been used as an anti biotic for both humans and livestock including chickens. Powdered garlic can be added to feed as a preventative tonic and to water to treat the whole flock for infection. Chickens seldom peck at any of the alum family of plants in the garden when they are foraging free range.
