feeding herbs

[Kristinanne80]

I have been reading about the benefits feeding dried herbs. I was wondering at what age I can start to do this? I cant seem to find this info anywhere? the blend I believe I am going to do is:

2 part nettle
2 part alfalfa
2 part marjoram
1 part dandelion
1 part chickweed
1 part fennel seed
1/2 part minced garlic
1/2 part comfrey
4-5 cups per 10-12lbs of feed or 10 cups to 25 lbs feed. by volume

im also thinking of doing my own feed:

4 cup yellow split peas
4 cup barley feed
4 cup whole oat feed
1 cup flax seed
1 cup chia seed
1 cup kelp
I will prob grind this blend up a bit so they can eat it when they are so small.

and a sep. bowl kept out with oyster shell

is there any thing else you could recommend adding to these blends?

from all the reading I've been doing about treats and herbs timing seems to be after the 8wk mark when treats get introduced along with switching to grower feed and moving out of the brooder.

but im still in learning research stage.
