Hello Miss Lydia,
This past week I was scrubbing up my hen house. Changed out the shavings, added lots of lavendar & took fresh mint leaves & rubbed them all over the wall behind the perch as well as on the perches. Prepping for the cold weather to come here in Utah. I felt very proud of my...

I too just started giving frozen treats this summer & I'm dabbling w/ the herbs.
Thank you...
I appreciate your reply. I'm trying to convince my husband to agree w/making the switch. For me I enjoy my chickens no matter how many eggs they lay. For him it's more of a "they cost more than they produce" issue. But I know I need to use all the advice to breed better hens.

Thanks again,
Kelly
