Can you provide some evidence? Not a random blog, please.

I give oregano everyday sometimes....no problems and my chickens love it!!

Is it everyday, or sometimes? Kinda has to be one or the other.

For a week or two I give it everyday or for a different week or 2 I might not give it at all

hahah

well, you can do something everyday for 5-6 days then not again for 3 weeks, then again every day for 10 days…

i guess that’s “everyday, sometimes”

Like, I take a shower everyday, sometimes. It can work for lots of stuff! Thanks for clearing that up.

i toss a large container of oregano, garlic, and red pepper flakes in with a 50lb bag of food every time i fill the chickens’ feeder up.

Those are just blogs... Not real studies, your proof is kind of proving the point @TheOddOneOut

even the one about the "commercial farms have started..." Means nothing, that was without context.


It is dangerous to just assume because someone put it on a blog then it must be true and safe.

As to the theory that If they eat it when it is available to them it must be safe and good for them, I would like to point out two things:

-Mucky puddles are always "more interesting" than clean water bowls

And.

- Styrofoam a favorite food group.
