Instant approval with morning feed

We opened the 3.5 oz or 9 oz resealable pouch of nest herb blend during the usual bedding refresh. That amount suited how often the nest herb blend is used during the usual bedding refresh, and the remainder stored without trouble. For this nest herb blend, the practical result during the usual bedding refresh was enough.

Herbal, light, and pleasant

Fresh herbs were scattered over new nest material before the morning laying rush. The hens inspected the boxes briefly and then used them as usual. The dried herb blend added a natural scent without artificial fragrance. It was easy to repeat a few days later.

Nest boxes feel fresher

Two spoonfuls went into each nest after the weekly bedding change. The fragrant mix of flowers and herbs added a clean herbal scent without making the coop smell perfumed. The dried herb blend added a natural scent without artificial fragrance. It has been simple to keep on hand.

Smells like an herb garden

Fresh herbs were scattered over new nest material before the morning laying rush. The dried herb blend added a natural scent without artificial fragrance.

Fresh bedding, happy hens

Lavender, mint, and the other botanicals remain recognizable in the mix. The aroma is noticeable close to the box but does not overwhelm the whole yard. It solved the small problem we bought it for.

Naturally fresh

Used herbs go straight into the compost pile with shavings and manure. That keeps cleanup simple and avoids separating another coop product. Another order would make sense when this runs out.

Such a nice finishing touch after coop cleanup

Warm damp days make enclosed areas stale quickly. Refreshing the herbs between full cleanouts kept the nest boxes feeling more inviting.

Fresh coop scent without perfume

Lavender and mint are noticeable, but the blend does not smell artificial or overpowering. Two spoonfuls per nest box make bedding changes feel more complete, and the hens returned right away.

Fresh herbs without the prep

Growing, drying, and combining this many herbs at home would take more time than I have. The 9-ounce pouch provides a ready-made mixture that is easy to scatter, and it lasts well with six nesting boxes.

Nice addition to weekly coop care

Every bedding change now ends with a couple of spoonfuls of this blend in each nest. It helps the boxes feel fresh between cleanings, and the resealable pouch keeps the remaining herbs dry.

A small sprinkle adds a pleasant herbal scent without making the coop smell perfumed or artificial. The hens settled into the refreshed boxes immediately, and the dried flowers look lovely mixed through the bedding.

Pleasant Addition to the Coop

I sprinkled a small amount into the nesting boxes during my regular cleaning routine. It was easy to apply and blended well with the bedding.

Easy to Work Into Cleaning

Fresh Herbal Aroma

The natural scent was pleasant without being overpowering. It gave the nesting area a cleaner feel.

I maintain a small flock of laying hens, and this fit nicely into my normal coop maintenance schedule.

Nice Resealable Package

The pouch closes securely after each use, making it convenient to store with the rest of my poultry supplies.

Simple to Sprinkle

Applying the herbs across the nesting material was quick and didn't require any additional tools.

We clean the coop every weekend, and adding this blend became another simple step in the process.

Weekend Coop Project

I cleaned the coop with my kids and let them help sprinkle the herbs into each nest box. It became part of our regular weekend chores.

Easy to Store

The resealable bag keeps everything contained between cleanings. It stores neatly on the shelf in our barn.

Nice Natural Option

I prefer using naturally derived products whenever possible around my chickens, so this herb blend appealed to me.

Good Household Routine

Between feeding the flock and collecting eggs each day, maintaining the nesting boxes is already part of our schedule. This was easy to incorporate.
