Before I make a big mistake, wanted to check and see if there are any dried herbs and flowers that anyone knows might be bad for hens.....my thought has been to toss some natural dried herbs into the coop bedding and nesting boxes, just to help things smell a bit fresher in there....I'm figuring that the hens probably won't eat them, though maybe they will nibble a bit so don't want to throw in anything toxic. Of course, I don't know how long the dried herbs and flowers will hold their scent when there are no preservatives and perfumes added, so maybe it's not the brilliant idea I first thought it might be!
Also, not that they're herbs, but I thought tomato plants, the green parts and leaves, were supposed to be toxic, but along with the tomatoes, my girls have eaten leaves, too, once they discovered the veggie boxes earlier this year. Should I keep them away from them next year?
Thanks!
