🌿🐓 SAVE THIS: Summer Fermentation Herb Mix
We add this blend to the grains we ferment for our flock during the hottest part of summer and as molt approaches.
Our current mix includes:
🌿 Oregano, thyme, peppermint, basil & fennel — gut + digestive support
🌱 Rosemary, sage, cinnamon & turmeric — antioxidant + stress support
💚 Moringa, spirulina, nutritional yeast & molasses — molt + feather support
🧄 Garlic — supports overall digestive and immune health
Fermenting grains can help support beneficial gut microbes and improve digestibility, while these herbs and nutrient-rich additions give the flock a little extra support through heat, seasonal stress, and feather growth.
And you do NOT need every ingredient to make your own.
Start with what you have. Oregano, garlic, thyme, rosemary, mint, turmeric — even a few useful herbs can make a great addition to your flock routine.
🌿 Herbs are supportive nutrition, not a replacement for proper treatment if your chickens have a confirmed parasite problem.
