Helping Chicken Issues with Herbs
http://timbercreekfarmer.com
Herbs and ChickensAdding herb gardening to your chicken care routines will result in
healthier, happier chickens. Using herbal care along with conventional veterinary medicine results in strong immune systems,
healthy digestive tracts, and a long egg laying life for your hens.Herbs boost immunity, increase resistance to pathogens, and improve
overall health and appearance. Herbs are generally easy to grow,harvest and store. With even a
small garden or container, you can grow herbs to use in yourkitchen and have on hand for health problems in the flock.
