As the temperatures drop, my feathered friends deserve some extra love and nutrition. Spoiled chickens? Absolutely! But donโt we all deserve a little pampering? ๐ Letโs dive into the ingredients that make this brew a bombdiggity treat for your chickens and the benefits they offer:
1. Fresh Duck or Chicken Eggs ๐ฅ: I opted for duck eggs because theyโre packed with protein, which helps feathered pals stay strong and healthy.
2. Crushed Eggshells ๐ฅ: Donโt toss those shells! They provide essential calcium, vital for strong eggshells and overall chicken well-being.
3. Garden Fresh Herbs ๐ฟ:
– Oregano: Natural antibiotic properties to support their immune system.
– Thyme: Aids in respiratory health.
– Mint: Helps with digestion and keeps coop odors at bay.
– Rosemary: Boosts circulation and provides antioxidants.
4. Romaine Lettuce ๐ฅฌ: Rich in vitamins and hydration, perfect for pre-freeze munching.
5. Red Pepper ๐ถ๏ธ: No worries chickens canโt taste spicy and these contains vitamins and antioxidants.
6. Garlic ๐ง: Known to repel parasites and boost immunity.
7. Cinnamon ๐: Supports digestion and has potential antioxidant benefits.
8. Grapes ๐: A sweet treat packed with vitamins and antioxidants.

10. Kale ๐ฅฌ: Nutrient-dense and packed with vitamins.

Letโs not forget, itโs essential to take care of our feathered friends just as we care for ourselves. ๐๐Have a bombdiggity day, everyone! ๐
