Wichtigste Vorteile

Calming Nesting Environment - Lavender and chamomile provide natural stress relief, helping hens feel relaxed and secure in their nesting boxes, especially beneficial for broody or anxious birds

Natural Pest Deterrent - Marigold flowers, lavender, and oregano contain natural oils that help discourage mites, lice, and other unwanted insects from nesting areas

Pleasant Aromatic Experience - Rose buds, lavender, and spearmint create a wonderful fragrance that keeps nesting boxes smelling fresh whilst benefiting your chickens' well-being

Immune System Support - Antioxidant-rich marigold, oregano, and rose buds help maintain strong natural defences when hens come into contact with the herbs

Verwendung

Sprinkle liberally into nesting boxes and throughout the coop area for maximum aromatic and pest-deterrent benefits.

Usage Guide: Use approximately one small handful (10-15g) per nest box. Refresh weekly or as needed to maintain the pleasant aroma and pest-deterrent properties. Can also be scattered in roosting areas and around the coop.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Use within 6 months of opening to preserve aromatic properties and freshness.

What Makes It Special?

Fresh Nest Herbs goes beyond simple aromatherapy - it's a holistic approach to creating the ideal nesting environment. When hens feel stressed or unsafe in their nesting boxes, egg production can suffer and behavioural issues may emerge. This carefully curated blend addresses multiple welfare concerns simultaneously, from pest management to stress reduction.

The combination of flowers and herbs isn't just pretty - each botanical serves a specific purpose. Lavender's calming compounds help reduce cortisol levels in stressed birds, whilst marigold's natural pest-deterrent properties create a cleaner environment. The antimicrobial properties of oregano and spearmint work quietly in the background, helping maintain a hygienic nesting area without harsh chemicals.

What chicken keepers particularly love is the dual benefit: your hens enjoy a calmer, more pleasant nesting experience, whilst you enjoy opening nest boxes to collect eggs and being greeted by the delightful aroma of roses, lavender, and herbs rather than typical coop smells. It's wellness for your flock and a more pleasant chicken-keeping experience for you.

Perfect for: Weekly nest box refreshing, calming stressed or broody hens, natural pest management in nesting areas, improving coop aroma, supporting anxious layers, creating a clean nesting environment

Häufig gestellte Fragen

How often should I refresh the herbs in nesting boxes?

We recommend refreshing the herbs weekly or as needed when the aroma fades. In hot weather or humid conditions, you may need to refresh more frequently to maintain effectiveness.

How much should I use per nest box?

Use approximately one small handful (10-15g) per nest box. Sprinkle liberally across the nesting material, ensuring good coverage for maximum aromatic and pest-deterrent benefits.

Will chickens eat these herbs?

Chickens may peck at the herbs out of curiosity, which is perfectly safe. However, this blend is primarily designed for environmental use in nesting areas rather than as a feed supplement.

Can I use this in other areas of the coop?

Absolutely! Whilst designed for nesting boxes, you can scatter Fresh Nest Herbs in roosting areas, corners of the coop, or anywhere you want to add pleasant aroma and pest-deterrent properties.

Will this really help keep mites and lice away?

The natural oils in these herbs create an environment that pests find uninviting. However, this should be part of a comprehensive pest management strategy including regular coop cleaning, diatomaceous earth, and approved treatments when necessary.

Is this safe for broody hens sitting on eggs?

Yes! The calming properties of lavender and chamomile are particularly beneficial for broody hens, helping them feel relaxed and secure whilst sitting. The herbs won't harm developing eggs.

Can I mix this with other nesting materials?

Yes, Fresh Nest Herbs works beautifully mixed with straw, wood shavings, or other nesting materials. The herbs will infuse the bedding with their aromatic and beneficial properties.

How should I store unused herbs?

Keep the pouch sealed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage preserves the herbs' aromatic properties and effectiveness.

Will this stop hens from eating their eggs?

Whilst the calming properties may reduce stress-related behaviours, egg eating typically has other causes like nutritional deficiencies or boredom. Address the root cause whilst using these herbs to create a calmer environment.

My hens won't use the nest boxes with herbs. What should I do?

Some hens need time to adjust to new scents. Start with a smaller amount and gradually increase. Ensure the herbs are well-mixed with familiar bedding rather than in a concentrated pile.

Can I use this for ducks or other poultry?

This blend is specifically formulated for chicken nesting areas. Ducks typically don't use elevated nest boxes and have different nesting preferences.

Will the lavender scent be overwhelming?

No, the lavender is balanced with other herbs to create a pleasant, subtle aroma rather than an overpowering scent. Most people find it very enjoyable when collecting eggs.

Does this help hens lay more eggs?

By creating a calmer, more inviting nesting environment, these herbs may encourage hens to use nest boxes more readily and feel less stressed during laying. However, egg production primarily depends on age, breed, nutrition, and daylight hours.
