What herbs do your chickens like most?

[stone_family3]

I'm planning my beds for next year and I'm considering growing one just for my chickens and rabbits. They won't have full access to it, just whatever I pull off and give them.

So I'm wondering what herbs do your chickens like the best?

mine sleep in the tall mint, scratch up the basil, eat the bugs out of my sage, and walk over the rosemary......

One of my hens is always eating my mint--the others don't bother it.

They leave the herbs alone..

Hmm, thanks for the suggestions everyone. My chickens and rabbits race to the herbs when I toss them in their cage. This year I grew pineapple sage and mint, they've also gotten some cilantro and basil from community garden compost bins.

Parsley, they massacre my parsley...

Mine love Thyme. They leave the basil and mint alone. Is hosta an herb?

when mine are penned up they love clover, when free ranging they seem to leave it alone, they don't seem to want any herbs

My girls love chives, basil and mint.
