TIPS FOR USE
Here’s what you need to do:
Poultry Protector Enzymes
During the cold Winter months, please do not bathe your chickens with Poultry Protector but rather use them to clean water fountains, roosts, nesting boxes, etc. Allow to dry thoroughly.
Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth
So, here’s what you'll get: Using a Pest Pistol, dust one cup of Diatomaceous Earth over your coop and run. Or a good palm full and chuck it at needed areas. For additional preventative measures, lightly dust your chicken under its wings, breast area, and bottom to remove lice, mites, and fleas. A little goes a long way here! You can even add up to 2% to your flock’s feed for natural internal cleansing.
Here's what you need to do: Add 1 or 2 scoops (Dawn uses a large wooden spoon btw) in the needed areas (nesting boxes to the run) or to an already determined chicken dusting area (aka "holes") and your flock will take care of the rest. One or two scoops of Diatomaceous Earth per 3-4 hens + plain old dirt will do just great. Sprinkle Diatomaceous Earth in your flock’s dusting area at least weekly.
Is Diatomaceous Earth chick age appropriate? Sure is. Start healthy hygiene habits at a young age, even without a mom hen on standby. Sprinkle a scoop on top of dirt or into a small tray, chicks will dive in to start dusting: cleaning and preening. It’s adorable to watch so keep your camera handy.
General Pro-Chick Tip: be sure that baby chicks under two weeks of age always have access to grit so they can properly digest their food.
Certified Organic Nesting Box Blend
Sprinkle about ¼ cup (about a palm full) Treats for Chickens Nesting Box Blend into each nesting box and in and around the coop enclosure atop straw, rice hulls, wood shavings or into the nesting material of your choice. And your flock will take care of the rest.
Here’s what you need to do: From Treats for Chickens experience, at least weekly scatter in the coop and/or coop’s nesting boxes in-between cleanings to help maintain your flock's fresh nesting environment and keep the ladies egg laying in their nesting boxes. Our healthy herbal nesting blend can be composted along with bedding, coop and run manure or other materials.

General Pro-Chick Tip: be sure that baby chicks under two weeks of age always have access to grit so they can properly digest their food.
