Herbs Gardening for the Chickens

[dringge]

I am new to chickensWhat herbs should I be planting in my garden for the chickens? I like the idea of using them in the coop and feeding them. What would be a good reference for herbs? Maybe a book or website? I try to get as many ideas here as I can but things are kind of scattered about.

I suggest you ask the chickens what kind of herbs they'd like to have.







or you could so a search...advanced search>titles only> herbs for chickens

I don't know if there are any herbs that chickens particularly like, but they love the brassicas. Kale, broccoli, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, bok choy. You can feed them the leftovers leaves after harvesting and processing, or plant extra kale for them, which is one of their favorites.

Chickens eat most of the things from my garden. They love calendula and nasturtium, and I just fed them some dill that was going to seed, they devoured that too.

Oh, and they adore weeds! It makes weeding my garden so much more fun!
