Didn't know if anyone else had discovered how great coconut oil is for chickens. One of my girls (a black sex-link) got sick (eggs were breaking inside of her or coming out with a leathery shell) and the vet told me that she'd probably never lay a good egg again. I started to offer all of my girls a little bit of the oil (they LOVE it) and lo and behold, my hen who was sick now lays eggs! I also noticed that their new feathers had a rich, deep green color to them that I hadn't seen before they began with the oil.
I buy it at Whole Foods and use it on my skin and share it with my hens. Hope this info helps someone else
