I gave the fresh oregano cuttings, not the oil mixed or diluted. Now we have bumblefoot. If it's not one thing, it's another. Learning more everyday. And they just became hens yesterday. Happy birthday to my girls. I did put DE in the bottom of their coop and then covered it with 4" of pine shavings. I've never seen them scratching around in there, so I think their lungs are safe.
