Green tea is very high high in Antioxidants . A small tea bag of Green Tea contains 10 Apples Antioxidants & flavonoids . Also green tea contain many other things too like
vitamins A, C, E and many of the B vitamins. There are 13 essential types of vitamins: A, C, D, E, K and Bvitamins (Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), Pantothenic acid (B5), Biotin (B7) Folate (B9), Pyroxidine (B6), Cobalamin (B12)

Really Awesome right!

Lets talk about what miracles Green Tea Can Do for your chicken . FYI! I personally used green tea on my roosters (I Have Pet Roosters) And i see good results on Cough , Cold Like Symptoms . One of it's chemicals is EGCG (epigallocatechin-gallate) which is known for its ability to increase the number of regulatory T cells, useful in fighting off autoimmune diseases. Other notable healing substances include fluoride, catechins, and tannins WOW!:eek:
Well, Green Tea is :



    • Antibacterial
    • Digestive aid
    • Diuretic
    • Antiinflammatory
    • Antiinfluenza
    • Antispasmodic
    • Antiviral
    • Antiulcer
    • Antioxidant
In my personal try my one rooster always shows some sort of walking backwards symptoms which are Vitamin E def. as you know vitamin E also contains antioxidants so just as a try when i give him 5 ml green tea by dropper his symptoms almost fade away :celebrateI Feel like soo happy! So now whenever i made a cup for myself i give it to my roosters too .

there are some researches shown that green tea in chickens routine help them prevent Cocci & Ecoli .
As i above mentioned that green tea is antiviral it can be used in issues like NDV (Newcastle Disease) . Green tea contains catechins, which are polyphenolic compounds that are known to exhibit strong anti-influenza activity. A study conducted on chickens by Lee HJ et al., 2012 showed that adding 10 g/kg of green tea
to the diet of chickens showed significant antiviral protection against AVIAN FLU


Chemistry Of Green Tea :
Fresh green tea leaves contain five major catechins: catechin (C), (−)-epicatechin (EC), (−)-epicatechin 3-gallate (ECG), (−)-epigallocatechin (EGC) and (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These compounds are water-soluble and contribute to bitterness and astringency of green tea

Latest reviews

Very informational article on green tea for chickens! I would have never thought of using it on chickens. It's amazing the things it helps build an immunity against for chickens. Article did have a few grammar flaws.
Where is the proof of 100% safety in giving this to chickens? There are too many other healthy things to give them without taking any risks. Appreciate all the detailed info on the tea and benefits of it though!
Fun article!

Use caution when giving chickens tea or coffee...I think they would rather have some meal worms

I am still unclear as to how you are feeding them. Dried tea from unused bags? Bags left over from your own brew! Brewed tea in their water?
