Kitchens, oh wait, chickens

Random question: Is there anything I can feed my chickens that will color their feathers? Just thought it would be cool.

As far as I know no there is not. My girls have eaten tons of mulberries and are still the same color. but squishing them up and brushing it into their feathers works great!

I don't think that there is anything that you can feed them but I know that @FluffyLambs would die her chickens pink with mulberries. https://www.opawz.com/collections/semi-permanent/products/semi-permanent-dye-shocking-pink this is a link for pet safe dye but this will last quite a while.

Thanks for tagging me Bean!

I do the same with blackberries! Also I think I might have heard something about marigold coloring yellow parrots and parakeets yellow-er

So I looked into it and marigold will color their feet, beaks, and egg yolks!

Yeah marigold is sometimes in our layer feed and I think it makes their egg yolks orange.

What to do when you can't get rid of turkeys?
