Is cat mint beneficial for chickens?

[Cornishboyraptor]

I am growing cat mint for my cats but read that it can be really beneficial for chickens. If this is true then I'll feed some to my chickens as well as cats.

Beneficial... Probably not.

It probably wouldn't hurt them either if they ate it.

Have you read this?

I have it growing wild next to my coop, and it's one plant that my birds ignore. Try growing some near your coop where your birds free range, if they do, and see if any of them care.
Certainly wouldn't bother feeding it to them!

Mine too! They love all kinds of herbs but won't eat catnip. I'll try at least one more try. But if not, oh well.

I believe catmint is different than nip.

I stumbled across an article online that talks about all the different herbs one can grow for their chickens. Catmint is one of them. https://thehomesteadinghippy.com/healthy-herbs-for-chickens/ I regularly give my chickens chocolate mint, peppermint and spearmint. Mine love it.
