Sick of lice & mite products that irritate your skin & nose?
Nest N Coop Herbal Mix - 100g bag of natural herbs & dried flowers is a way of managing lice & mites naturally. Using a blend of known anti-parasitic herbs & flowers, your nest box & coop area can not only smell good but ward off lice & mites without using harsh chemicals.
What is in your bag?
A blend of herbs and edible flowers. Culinary herbs and edible flowers have amazing health and well-being benefits, and also provide a bit of aromatherapy for your chickens.
Fresh or dried herbs in your nesting boxes not only work as insecticides, but also have anti-bacterial properties, and can act as natural wormers, anti-parasitic, rodent control, stress relievers and laying stimulants.
They will help a laying hen feel safe and relaxed while she is sitting, and calm a broody hen, as well as repel rodents, flies and other parasites. Broody hens can have a tendency to get mites and other bugs since they don't get out to dust bathe often, if at all, and the warm, dark space underneath them is a breeding ground for parasites. Certain types of herbs safely and naturally avoid that.
Add to your brooder litter to stop lice coming onto chicks.
