What it does

Eucalyptus is known to have numerous benefits for chickens.  The Lush Liners oil mix, our richest blended product so far, also includes lavender to make it even more effective. Here are a few reasons why eucalyptus and lavender are so good:

Respiratory Health: Eucalyptus has expectorant properties and can help clear congestion and relieve respiratory issues in chickens. The scent of eucalyptus helps to open up the airways and facilitate easier breathing, especially if the chickens are suffering from respiratory infections or colds.

Aches and Pains: Eucalyptus oil has analgesic properties that can help relieve aches and pains in chickens. This is particularly beneficial for older chickens or those experiencing joint or muscle discomfort.

Pest Control: The scents of eucalyptus and lavender are known to repel pests such as mites, lice, and fleas. By placing Lush Liners in your nest boxes you can help protect the chickens from these parasites.

Scent and Stress Relief: Eucalyptus has a pleasant and calming scent that can help reduce stress in chickens.  Lavender has been used for hundreds of years because of its relaxant qualities. The subtle soothing aroma from Lush Liners will help create a relaxing environment. As the hen sits in the nest box her body heat helps release the scent and its beneficial affects.

Whilst eucalyptus can be beneficial for chickens, it's important to use it in moderation and with this liner system you prevent direct contact between chicken or egg and any oil.
