Herbs for the chicken nesting boxes!

Cool! I just recently read an article about this. I want to try it!

My area has a huge problem with ticks this time of year. I put some herbs and diatomaceous(spelling, I know...) earth in the boxes and have almost NO problem in the ladies coop. They eat a lot of it, but it smells so good before they do! My girls aren't laying yet so cant help with the egg taste. But I wouldn't guess it would change really. Free rangers eat all kinds of things...

I would love to try this! I grow rosemary, mint, and basil so maybe I'll just round up some random leaves and throw it it there! I bet it will smell nice! My girls are just starting to lay...so maybe it will be inspirational to them...?
