Too much of Cinnamon powder

[Egg king]

Hi
How are you
I would like to know what will happen if i give my chickens too much of cinnamon powder in their food

I don't think that you can really overdue cinnamon. Maybe if you fed it in really high quantity's over a long period of time, but I think thats how most things are.
May I ask out of curiosity, what are you feeding cinnamon for?

Don't give them cinnamon. It's pointless and has no benefits. Plus...it's more expensive than chicken feed.
Just feed them like a normal person.

I think cinnamon had a ton of benefits. It antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and immune boosting. I don’t feed cinnamon, but I do put it in my treats.

I still think there is no reason to feed it to the point of poisoning them. That’s just insane.

Very true. I wouldn't continue to feed cinnamon in large doses, but it is benefit in realistic amounts.

Personally, I save the seasonings for when I cook the birds or the eggs.

There are many claims of benefits from many possible additives but few, if any, stand up to rigorous, scientific analysis in a properly-conducted, double-blind study.

I would NEVER put any of these additives into the birds' food itself but, if I were to use anything, I would offer it separately rather than risk them refusing to eat because the additive was irritating or unpleasant.

I have noticed that when I prune herbs and toss bug-chewed springs that I don't want for my own kitchen into the run the chickens rarely eat any of them. Too strong-flavored, I presume -- those volatile oils that make such good seasoning can be irritating in excessive quantities.
