Keepin’ the Chickens Healthy!

Sasha cat approves 🙂

Along with organic feed (no soy, no corn), kitchen scrapes, and fresh grass – we also give our chickens an organic dried herb mix to keep them healthy and happy.

Our mix includes:

  • Organic Thyme Leaf
  • Organic Parsley Leaf
  • Calendula
  • Organic Oregano Leaf
  • Organic Nettle Leaf
  • Organic Garlic Flakes
  • Organic Basil Leaf
  • Organic Ginger Root

I picked up all the herbs at the local health food store and mixed up a big gallon sized freezer bag of the herbs.

My big ol’ bag of herbs!

The herbs will help boost the chicken’s immunity, support digestive and circulatory health, and health keep their coop smelling better.  We just sprinkle a big pinch of ’em onto their food everyday so they can free feed on whatever they feel like they need.

The chickens happily gobble it all up.

We even sprinkle some in for the duckies too.  They love to bob for herbs in their water tub.
