Nesting Box Herbs
At Nene Barn Hens Ltd., we know that a relaxed, calm, healthy hen is a happy hen. Established in 2019, Nene Barn Hens are small-scale, family run producers of 100% natural, safe, biodegradable nesting box herbs.
Benefits:
The benefits of nesting box herbs to chickens' health, happiness, and well-being has been known by poultry keepers for generations. Not only do the nesting herbs provide your hens with an aromatherapy boost, they are a natural method to help repel harmful pests, support hens' immune systems, improve egg production and quality, and control coop odors.
When to use:
Our nesting box herbs are safe to use year round; however, they are especially beneficial when:
- introducing new hens to an established flock
- during the colder, winter months
- when a hen becomes broody
- during times of moulting
- when hens are experiencing additional stress, such as after a predator attack, moving house, illness, or injury.
Individually made:
Every packet is hand mixed to exacting standards in our country farmhouse. The unique blend is a fusion of 12 herbs and flowers that have been expertly researched, tried, and tested. The proof comes from the health and egg quality of the flock at Nene Barn Hens.
Why buy from Nene Barn Hens?
Cheaper products are always available; however, they are often mass produced using fewer, cheaper ingredients - the result being lesser benefits to your precious flock. The chickens at Nene Barn Hens are part of our family. If we didn't believe in the product, quite simply, we wouldn't be giving them to our darling hens.
