Molly McMuffin here: Not touching basil. Not us old girls, not egg laying chatter boxes, not the teenagers and not those annoying two youngsters! I'm sure I was never 9 weeks old!
Love oregano - as long as its in wet feed - We all love and beg for wet feed.
garlic is okay but don't show it to me - put it in wet feed too - did I tell you we all love that wet food.
Greens in the morning okay - not too many times with the turnip or collard greens. Curly mustard yum - lettuces yum - swiss chard and spinach double yum.
okay with the sunflower seeds.
Really - just don't bother with all that other stuff and just give me scratch - you know chicken crack followed by mealy worms!
Dreamingly yours, Molly

We are going to try some mint in the yard. They haven't touched it in the pots or any other time so maybe just maybe we'll get a spit of green!

Question about broody hatching eggs. She's in a box about a foot off the ground. Mini ramp? Build a nest on the ground for after hatch? Or will she do it?

I've never hatched by a broody or used that method of having them in a nesting box, so I can't help you with that. Maybe one of the other's can. I'll see you tomorrow, and you can pick your eggs.

Not to mention that it will go great in tea, huh?

I put a terra cotta pot with mint in it inside the run and it was devoured within minutes! There is also a hanging pot in there with aloe and I had to raise it up higher because they started eating that up too...hungry little piggies I've got over here.

I've got a bunch of aloe growing by my back porch steps, that has been there for years. It's nowhere near the coop and run. Last year I was able to thin part of it out, by giving my next door neighbor some of it. You can barely tell that it was thinned out now, and has branched out into growing under the porch steps.

I have a ton to thin this year for the compost pile. Ugh, once that stuff takes hold! The hummingbirds love it in Spring when it blooms.

Yes, and once that stuff is left alone, it not only branches off to all sides, but little one's grow in over the top of the older ones!

I give mine feed wet and they seem to enjoy it. I just bought a 20 bag of dumor starter and not impressed. Lots of powder. The two boys went through a molt so I got them some feather fixer. On loves it the other won’t touch it. I give the fruit and veggies some they eat some they don’t. Just very picky.
