How much dill for chickens?

[Poultrybreeder]

Hey all! I heard dill is really good for chickens, because of it's natural sedatives, and respiratory aids, except I don't know how much to give them. How much would you give each hen/rooster? Thanks!

Tie up a batch and hang it, they will peck at it as they wish. Or you can chop up fresh herbs to mix into their feed.

Yeah, I was planning on chopping it up, and mixing it in their feed, that's why I was asking.

I’d say 1-2%, which doesn’t sound like much but is when talking herbs. Keep an eye (or tongue) on egg flavor and adjust accordingly if they taste pickled.
