What Makes It Special?

Healthy Hen Herbs brings ancient botanical wisdom to modern poultry keeping. For centuries, farmers have relied on herbs and flowers to naturally support their flocks' health, and this blend captures that traditional knowledge in a convenient, ready-to-use format. Unlike synthetic supplements, these pure botanicals work holistically with your chickens' natural systems.

Each herb in this blend serves multiple purposes. Nettle doesn't just add iron and calcium - it also fights inflammation. Marigold provides more than yolk colour enhancement - it actively supports immune function. The aromatic properties of herbs like oregano, spearmint, and garlic create an environment that pests find uninviting, offering a natural first line of defence when scattered in nesting boxes or roosting areas.

What makes this particularly valuable is the calming element. Stressed chickens are more prone to illness and behavioural problems. The inclusion of chamomile and lemon balm helps create a more relaxed flock, whilst the digestive herbs ensure nutrients are properly absorbed. It's comprehensive wellness support that works with nature, not against it.

Perfect for: Daily health maintenance, natural pest management, supporting stressed or moulting birds, enhancing egg quality, maintaining digestive health, promoting calm behaviour in flighty breeds

FAQ's

How often should I feed Healthy Hen Herbs?

This herbal supplement can be offered daily as part of your chickens' wellness routine. One handful (approximately 10-15g) feeds around 6 hens. You can mix it into their regular feed or offer it separately.

Can I scatter this in the coop to repel pests?

Yes! Lightly scatter the herbs in nesting boxes, roosting areas, and around the coop. The aromatic properties of garlic, oregano, and spearmint create an environment that mites, lice, and insects find uninviting. Refresh weekly for best results.

Will this help with red mite problems?

Whilst these herbs may help deter pests due to their aromatic properties, they should not replace proper pest treatment and prevention protocols. Use as part of a comprehensive pest management strategy alongside regular coop cleaning and approved treatments.

How quickly will I see results?

Some benefits like stress reduction may be noticeable within days. Improvements in egg yolk colour typically appear within 1-2 weeks of regular feeding. Immune and digestive support work gradually over time with consistent use.

Can I feed this to chicks?

This blend is formulated for adult chickens. For chicks under 8 weeks old, stick to starter feed. After 8 weeks, you can introduce small amounts gradually, though the full benefits are most relevant for laying hens.

Will this replace my chickens' regular feed?

No, this is a complementary herbal supplement, not a complete feed. Your chickens still need their regular layers pellets or mash as their primary diet to ensure balanced nutrition.

Is this suitable for all chicken breeds?

Yes! Healthy Hen Herbs is suitable for all breeds of chickens. The natural botanical blend benefits all poultry regardless of breed or size.

How should I store the 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 nutritional benefits for up to 6 months.

My chickens won't eat the herbs mixed in their feed. What should I do?

Some chickens need time to adjust to new flavours. Try mixing a small amount initially and gradually increase. Alternatively, scatter the herbs separately so chickens can choose to peck at them, or dampen the herbs slightly to release more aroma.

Will this affect the taste of eggs?

No, these herbs will not negatively affect egg flavour. In fact, many chicken keepers report that eggs from herb-fed chickens taste fresher and richer due to the birds' improved overall health.

Can this help calm aggressive chickens?

The chamomile and lemon balm in this blend have natural calming properties that may help reduce stress-related aggression. However, persistent aggression often has underlying causes like overcrowding or pecking order issues that should be addressed separately.

Does garlic make the coop smell strong?

The dried garlic is blended with other aromatic herbs, creating a pleasant herbal scent rather than an overwhelming garlic odour. Most chicken keepers find the aroma appealing and notice pests avoid areas where it's scattered.

Can I use this for ducks or other poultry?

Whilst these herbs are safe for most poultry, this blend is specifically formulated for chickens. Ducks and other poultry have different dietary needs and preferences.
