Our chicken litter provides a safe and natural environment for your animals, completely free of pesticides, chemical fertilizers and seeds. This means you don't have to worry about unwanted substances that could potentially be ingested.

In addition, our litter is thoroughly dusted before it is packaged, making it ideal for chickens with sensitive respiratory systems and contributing to a healthy living environment.

The unique structure of the pith tissue in Miscanthus stems provides exceptional absorbency, resulting in a drier and more comfortable habitat for your chickens.

Red lice mainly live in the poultry house but they can also attack your chickens directly. Chickens that are regularly bitten may become anemic in the long run. And that's not all: red lice can also spread bacterial or viral diseases, such as salmonella. For the health of your chickens, it is essential to control this parasite!

Tobacco is a natural repellent against lice and red mites that may develop in your poultry house.
Its strong smell will help you keep them away from your chickens and will be a real deterrent!

Our advice : choose a smooth transition !

To avoid stressing your chickens when you use our organic litter for the first time, we invite you to mix it with your current litter.

This cautious transition phase will allow your chickens to adapt step by step and make this new ecological nest more easily their own.

Since this product is 100% biodegradable, you can easily dispose of it when you renew it through your compost or household waste.
