Cumin will keep your chickens from straying.

[Ruby Rogue]

I'm in love with this spice!

I just read that cumin will keep your chickens from wandering. Does anyone here feed cumin to their chickens? Does it work? Have you ever heard this notion before?

I'm pretty sure thats just a midevil myth... it was said to keep lovers and chickens from wandering

I use it in curry but iv'e not noticed any tethering effects beyond the overall heaviness of just being my curry.

It may just be nonsense but it's fantastic...

I wouldn't know about that but it sure is an attention grabbing thread title.

I'd like to know if they are attracted to it... anyone know what I can mix it in or put it on to see if they eat it? Something they don't usually like?
