Studies show that basil helps hens produce nutrient-rich eggs with vivid yolk color, improved shelf life, and better flavor overall. Trials show this herb works quickly and safely, making it a perfect everyday addition to your flock’s feed. With basil, better eggs come naturally.
In a 5-week Danish study by Hammershøj & Steenfeldt (2012), hens supplemented with 15–30 g/kg of dried basil laid more eggs compared to the control group. Not only did the quantity increase, but the eggs were also described as having “high and differentiable quality”, a sign of improved shell integrity, albumen consistency, and yolk appearance.
Basil-fed hens produced eggs with deeper yellow yolks, due to increased levels of lutein and violaxanthin, natural carotenoids that boost egg quality, visual appeal, and nutrition.
In blind taste tests, basil-enriched eggs delivered richer flavor, with no off-odors or chemical taste often found in artificially enhanced feeds.
Imagine collecting eggs that look richer, taste better, and come from hens that feel their best, without ever needing artificial enhancers. That’s the power of basil.
Studies show that basil helps hens lay more eggs with brighter, nutrient-rich yolks that stay fresh longer. The secret lies in its natural carotenoids and antioxidants, which boost egg color, quality, and even flavor without a single artificial additive. When you feed your hens basil, you’re giving them more than just a tasty herb, you’re giving them a natural advantage backed by real science.
In Buff Clucks Herb Supplement, we include real basil not because it’s trendy, but because it’s proven. Every scoop is backed by science, supporting your flock’s health naturally.

Basil is naturally rich in antioxidants that help protect hens at a cellular level. These compounds reduce oxidative stress, improving egg quality, flavor, and shelf life. Research shows that adding basil to feed lowers internal damage from free radicals, leading to healthier hens and more stable eggs.
The basil was added to the hens' diet at 1% to 3% of total feed, a safe and effective inclusion rate shown to deliver measurable antioxidant benefits without adverse effects.
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a marker of lipid peroxidation, a type of cellular damage. Lower MDA means basil helped protect the yolk from oxidative stress, making eggs more stable, longer-lasting, and nutritionally intact.
A Gold Standard in Poultry Antioxidants. The antioxidant performance of basil closely matched that of marigold, a well-established feed additive known for protecting yolks and enhancing pigmentation.
Hens fed basil showed increased levels of key antioxidant enzymes like SOD (superoxide dismutase), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, all essential for neutralizing free radicals and reducing internal stress in the body.
Your hens face stress every day from heat, weather, and even the effort it takes to lay an egg. That’s where basil’s natural antioxidant defense system comes in.
Studies show that adding just a small amount of basil to their feed helps protect your flock at a cellular level, reducing damage from free radicals that can affect egg freshness and overall health. The result? Brighter yolks, longer-lasting eggs, and stronger, more resilient hens.
That’s why Buff Clucks Herb Supplement includes research-backed basil—because real results come from nature, not chemicals.

Basil has gained attention in poultry research for its natural ability to support digestive health and strengthen the immune system. Its unique blend of bioactive compounds helps promote internal balance, reduce stress, and improve nutrient absorption.
Basil enhances the height and structure of intestinal villi, allowing hens to absorb more nutrients from every bite.
With improved digestion and less internal stress, hens require less feed to produce the same (or even better) egg output. This means lower feed costs, healthier birds, and more efficient production overall.
Basil increases the activity of essential antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, which help neutralize harmful free radicals and help reduce internal stress and inflammation.
Healthy eggs start with a healthy gut and basil helps make that happen naturally.
Research shows that basil supports digestion by improving the structure of the intestinal lining, helping your hens absorb more nutrients from every bite. This means less wasted feed, better egg production, and stronger overall immunity. By reducing internal stress and boosting natural antioxidant enzymes, basil helps your flock stay balanced and resilient from the inside out.
That’s why in Buff Clucks Herb Supplement we include real basil in every blend because real results begin where good health starts: the gut.
