I NEED HELP!!!! The gnats are killing my birds!!

I spoil my sweet runt with millions of hugs! But I'm sure she'd trade me in for mealworms anytime.

I spoil my sweet runt with millions of hugs! But I'm sure she'd trade me in for mealworms anytime.

Maybe, but once she was done eating she'd be looking for her chicken mom!

She runs up to me when she hears the crinkle of the mealworm bag. She'll fly up on me and get on my shoulder and even my head! I'll hold her and just hug her and snuggle her!

One of my older girls, Henrietta, is like that even at 10 months old! She naps on me, let's me clean off her beak, feathers, whatever and returns the favor by removing any and all dirt/lint from my person. Of our pullets my runt, Tiny Peep is just like yours; she runs when she sees me and perches on my shoulder or the top of my head! Often the other three will try to fly up my back to join her but don't like pets and snuggles like she does!

@Little Red Birds How is everyone this morning? Did your birds do okay overnight? Hope things went well!

Chickens do like scrambled egg, my Rhode chicks did! But be sure not to add any seasoning.

Why would herbs and spices be a problem? Most are good for chickens.

My runt is the friendliest of my bunch to. The others are hard to catch. There is another chick that will fly on me if I'm playing with another one.

When I meant seasoning I meant things like salt, pepper or any other spices.

When I meant seasoning I meant things like salt, pepper or any other spices.

Salt would be the only problem. Oregano, thyme, calendula, basil, comfrey, lavender, parsley, dill, sage, marjoram, cilantro, tarragon, cayenne and pepper are really good for chickens.
Other than salt, I can't think of a seasoning that is unsafe for chickens.

I didn't say herbs were bad, but I honestly don't see how cayenne pepper would be good, as spicy as it is. I know I don't do spicy.
