A clean, well-maintained brooder keeps chicks healthy, reduces the risk of bacteria and ammonia buildup, and helps prevent respiratory issues caused by dust and moisture. The key to easy maintenance is using the right products from the start.

Step 1: Start Fresh with Revitalime

Before adding bedding, start with Revitalime, a natural, third-party-tested solution designed to neutralize odors, control moisture, and deter pests like mites and lice. Created with calcite, citric acid, peppermint, and thyme, it keeps the brooder fresh while supporting strong respiratory health for your chicks.

How to use:

• After cleaning your brooder, sprinkle a light layer of Revitalime on the bottom before adding hemp bedding.
• Focus on high-traffic areas where moisture and odors can build up.

This base layer keeps the brooder drier while preventing harmful ammonia buildup.

Step 2: Layer with Hemp Bedding for Warmth & Absorption

Once Revitalime is applied, it’s time to add Eaton Pet & Pasture’s Premium Hemp Bedding—the ultimate bedding for warmth, absorption, and odor control. Unlike traditional shavings, hemp bedding:

✔ Absorbs twice as much moisture as pine shavings
✔ Is low-dust to protect sensitive chick respiratory systems
✔ Is soft and cozy for delicate growing chicks
✔ Is compostable for an eco-friendly brooder

How to use:

• Spread a soft, even layer approximately 1 inch thick across the brooder floor for comfort and warmth.
• Spot clean daily and add fresh bedding as needed to keep the brooder dry and clean.
  

Step 3: Keep It Smelling Fresh with Roost Refresh

For an extra boost of freshness, Roost Refresh is a must-have for the brooder. Made with a blend of hemp fines and aromatic herbs, it naturally:

✔ Absorbs excess moisture to prevent ammonia buildup
✔ Keeps bedding fresher for longer
✔ Supports a calm and healthy environment for growing chicks

How to use:

• Lightly sprinkle Roost Refresh over the bedding to help control moisture and odors.
• Reapply as needed to extend bedding life and keep the brooder smelling fresh.
