Nesting Herbs Blend — Natural Coop & Nesting Box Botanical Mix
Calming herbal blend for nesting boxes promoting hen comfort, reduced stress, and natural pest deterrence
Key Benefits
Calming Effect on Hens
Aromatic herbs including lavender, chamomile, and lemon balm create a calming environment in nesting boxes, reducing stress-related behaviors and encouraging consistent use of nest boxes.
Natural Pest Deterrence
Herbs such as rosemary, mint, and lemongrass naturally deter common coop pests including mites, lice, and flies without chemical pesticides.
Improved Nest Box Acceptance
The pleasant herbal aroma encourages hens to use designated nesting areas, reducing floor eggs and making collection easier for flock owners.
Coop Freshness
Natural botanical fragrances help maintain a fresher-smelling coop environment. The herbs continue releasing their aroma for 2-4 weeks after placement.
Completely Non-Toxic
100% plant-based ingredients safe for hens to peck at and consume in small amounts. No chemicals, no synthetic fragrances, no pesticides.
