    RopaPoultry Oregano Oil Supplement

    I use it. It almost certainly has a surfactant added so the oils mix with the water, which will create suds. If it didn't, the oils would separate from the water, making the product pretty useless.

    Is my hen getting enough good food?

    My single hen, a Plymouth BR, doesn't much like the commercial layers mash.
