No kidding? Well that's interesting. Need to find out if there's any harm in it. How much do you use?

Bonnie I have always used cayenne in my hens food in winter. It is good for circulation in people and for some reason it does seem to encourage laying to some degree. I have never noticed any ill effect and it is a very old practice as IIF says....
