Thank you!

Great video and list of herbs. I grow all of these and a few more. The great thing about herbs is that you can give them to chickens and they will pick what they like and leave what they don’t. I agree that Oregano is one of the best. All have great benefits but if I had to pick one-Oregano would be it. Thanks HBF! 🐓

Very true!

Thank u for the info

[@chriswillock2177]

Excellent video guy's. I'm writing all this down. I will be planting a few of them in my gardens that run beside the chicken runs next year.

[@HobbyFarmGuys]

Sounds great!

Parsley, garlic mustard, mint, lavender, also

[@HobbyFarmGuys]

Also great!

These are great suggestions. I would add Borage, lemon balm (melissa officinalis) and violets (viola odorata) which my hens love.

[@HobbyFarmGuys]

Great additions to the list!

This was a great video! I grow lots of herbs for the kitchen and now I can plan to pick some for the birds too! An added bonus is that it will supplement the feed bill a bit. Thanks again!

I can only buy dried Oregano at the grocery store right now. How often should I feed it to my four chickens and how much?

[@cuicasqueeka3738]

You should try to grow your own oregano. Dried oregano bought in stores has some of the highest arsenic contents. Don’t ask me how it gets in there. I don’t want that arsenic to get into my eggs or hurt my chickens, therefore I grow my own.
