Nest Box Aromatherapy

Thank you. I really enjoy your article .

I'm very impressed by Mountain Peep's knowledge on the subject of herbs, weeds, and flowers. I learn more with each article I read!

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.

Don't they eat them up pretty quick?

Lovely smelling herbs are coming your way, hens!

Love learning new stuff for my chicken and herbs was something I didn't know about. Thank you for sharing this!

Love this post!
I’ve been sprinkling a few drops of Lavender oil over the bedding, and nest box.
Works for me.

The list of alternatives that you’ve given here, is great.
I can’t wait to try some of them.

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!
