As winter fades and warmer days arrive, it’s time to give your chicken coop a much-needed refresh. A clean coop isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s essential for the health and happiness of your flock. With the right products and a simple step-by-step approach, spring cleaning can be quick, effective, and beneficial for your chickens.
Here’s how to reset your coop for spring using Eaton Pet & Pasture’s premium, natural products.
Step 1: Start Fresh with Revitalime
Before adding new bedding, sprinkle Revitalime throughout your coop, focusing on high-traffic areas like roosting bars, nesting boxes, and dust bathing spots. This third-party-tested formula contains calcite, citric acid, peppermint, and thyme to:
✔ Neutralize odors
✔ Naturally deter pests like mites and lice
✔ Support respiratory health in your flock
Using Revitalime as a base layer helps keep your coop fresh and clean while minimizing common poultry health issues.
Step 2: Add Highly Absorbent Hemp Bedding
Once your base is set, layer in Premium Hemp Bedding, the ultimate choice for a cleaner, drier coop. Unlike traditional bedding options, hemp is:
✔ 2x more absorbent than wood shavings or straw
✔ Low dust to promote better respiratory health
✔ Compostable & sustainable, making cleanup easier
Hemp Bedding works perfectly with the deep litter method, helping to naturally break down waste while maintaining a warm, insulated coop.
Step 3: Keep Nesting Boxes Cozy & Clean
Your hens deserve a comfortable, clean space to lay their eggs. Eaton’s Premium Nesting Pads create a soft, absorbent surface that:
✔ Helps prevent egg breakage
✔ Reduces mess and moisture buildup
✔ Makes egg collection quick and easy
For an extra touch, sprinkle Nesting Herbs over the pads. This natural herb blend not only smells amazing but also helps repel pests and encourages laying.
Step 4: Boost Freshness with Roost Refresh
Maintaining a clean coop doesn’t stop after deep cleaning—daily upkeep matters too! Roost Refresh is a hemp & herb blend designed to:
✔ Extend the freshness of your coop between cleanings
✔ Control odors naturally
✔ Provide additional pest protection
Simply sprinkle it under the roosting bars and throughout your coop for a quick, effective refresh.
Step 5: Give Your Flock a Nutritional Boost
Spring is the perfect time to ensure your flock is getting the best nutrition. As chickens recover from winter stress and enter peak egg-laying season, Henhouse Hemp and Premium Grubs are essential for:
✔ Supporting feather regrowth
✔ Boosting immune health
✔ Increasing protein & omega-3 levels in eggs
These treats provide the extra nutrients your chickens need for a healthy, productive season.
