I wanted to share an article about natural chicken maintenance. I hope some will find it useful. I have used some of these methods for the last two years with my small flock of 6. Just a few great points:
- Garlic to reduce mites p.2
- Garlic in water to prevent worms and parasites
- Peppermint, woormwood, and nasturtiums planted around coops to control intestinal parasites p.3
- Probiotics (yogurt) and Prebiotics and Organic Acids (ACV)p. 4
And many many more great combinations of plants and herbs to keep our flocks healthy.
