Let me just say that my favorite way to spoil my hard working hens after a busy spring and when those herbs resurface after a long winter is fresh cuttings in the nest. I also add cone flower for immunity and bee balm petals. The coop shavings never looked so good. The mint and lavender and oregano are top faves and lemon grass if I can find a bunch since it is not perreniel. Lemon thyme will come up perrenielly for me. Oh gosh those hens know a good fresh clean coop. Worth the effort.
i started off reading just one article on herb uses for chickens and now I am BYC stalking every article on the subject written by “Mountain Peeps”! Great read!
