Medicinal herbs for chickens



Here are a few benefits of medicinal herbs for chickens.

  1. Herbs provide your flock with extra vitamins and minerals that they might not receive through their feed. Trace minerals are found in herbs that aren’t included in commercial layer mixes.

  2. Chickens understand that these herbs can help self-medicate, so if given a chance to free-range, they’ll pick herbs that benefit their health.

  3. Herbs are aromatic, as much of us know. Pests detest aromatic plants and stay away from these scents. So, if you want a pest-free coop, toss in herbs to the nesting boxes or hang them from the ceiling.

  4. Giving your chickens herbs can help make them happier. Happier chickens lay more eggs, and that’s a huge win for you.
