Be careful. Garlic can be toxic to chickens and pepper seeds can block nutrition.After a few years I’ve settled on this:
Kalmbach Henhouse Reserve layer feed, stretched with Nutrena Country Feeds layer pellets.
I add:
- Red pepper flakes
- Basil
- Oregano
- Thyme
- Crushed egg shells
- Grit
- Soldier fly larvae
- Cinnamon (sometimes)
- Sage (sometimes)
I put it all mixed up in a flat planter drain dish, and call it a chicken pizza. Here it is.

This is just my routine. Do some research, figure out what they like best. Good luck!
you are welcome.I just noticed that. These blueberries are very plump! They don't get just the blueberries, though. I mix in their layer grain feed with several other leafy greens and additional nutrients. I did cut back to six each, but five sounds reasonable. Plus, I wouldn't mind actually enjoying a few blueberries myself! Thank you.
I don’t add garlic. The only time I give garlic is with ACV dose for new quarantined birds or for worm sign. As for red pepper flakes- they can have plenty and it’s beneficial in moderation. A sprinkle goes a long way.Be careful. Garlic can be toxic to chickens and pepper seeds can block nutrition.
Just making sure. Garlic won't do anything for worms, sadly.I don’t add garlic. The only time I give garlic is with ACV dose for new quarantined birds or for worm sign. As for red pepper flakes- they can have plenty and it’s beneficial in moderation. A sprinkle goes a long way.
I don't use garlic but don't like it when people are told it's toxic. A lot of things can be toxic to chickens, and people as well. It's all in moderation. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/food-advice.1608902/#post-27427812I don’t add garlic.
