I am planning my herb garden and I read that mint keeps pests away from the house (mice and some buggies, such as fleas). I thought this would be a nice bonus around my coop, but if the hens wouldn't leave it alone or if it would make the eggs minty fresh, this plan is just a pipe dream. They are free rangers, but they are supplemented with grains, layer, beans, and oyster shell.
