Years ago, I had a desire to spoil my pet chickens. I was looking for a company that specialized in organic chicken treats. Three years ago, I happened to stumble upon Treats for Chickens one evening while surfing the internet. Immediately I fell in love with their products, their philosophy and their organic practices. I placed my first order for their Nesting Box Blend and their organic food grade diatomaceous earth (DE).
The Nesting Box Blend is simply amazing! The blend smells heavenly and is made from an assortment of dried herbs and flowers. I like to think of it as aromatherapy for chickens. It is said to make their egg laying process less stressful and it also keeps mites and lice away from the flock. Habitually, each time I clean out the nesting boxes, I sprinkle about a tablespoon of the Nesting Box Blend and a teaspoon of DE into the bottom of each box. I finish off the boxes with a thick layer of pine shavings. As I am cleaning the coop the girls know exactly what I am doing. They eagerly anticipate exploring the nesting boxes after they are cleaned. The best part, is that I swear everyone lays an egg on the day I clean out the coop! Three years later, I cannot imagine my girls’ lives without these two products!
Over the years, I always find myself trying new items from Treats for Chickens to my order. I have tried and swear by both of their chicken toys. I love to add a teaspoon of the Cluck and Sea Kelp on top of their weekly plain yogurt treat. In the heat of summer, my flock loves me to make them refreshing tea in one of their waterers. I also spoil the girls like crazy in the Winter when they cannot get out and free-range as much. This past season, they were treated to Meal Worm Delight, Worms and Harvest Flakes and Pumpkin Seed Snacks. Three years later, I still religiously place my order every few months.
This past month, I was approached by Treats for Chickens to become a sponsor of my website. To celebrate, we both thought that giving away their famous Nesting Box Blend (4 oz size) would be a fantastic treat for our followers! I hope you will check them out for yourself. They are another wonderful example of a small family run business, whose heart is truly in every product they create.

I'm not sure if it's gimmicky or not, but I'd love to try a treat ball for my chickens from Treats for Chickens. 🙂
Now following the blog via email as well! Thanks so much!
This is such a great giveaway!! I have been wanting to try the nesting box blend for a while but my budget just haven't allowed for it 🙁 This is a perfect opportunity for me to try it and convince my husband to work it in to our budget! I'm definately doing all 5 entries to this contest. Obviously like I said the product I've been wanting to try the most is the nesting box blend!! though I have also been wanting to treat my hens with the pumpkin seed treat too. Thanks again for this great opportunity! 🙂

Oh, what a cool giveaway!
Hi I would like to try "Crack for Chickens", it sounds entertaining. Thank you. Elizabeth liz9910@yahoo.com
I've never heard of Treats for Chickens. Took a look over at their website & they have alot of nice products. I love the name 'Chicken Crack', and the "chicken toy" is so cute. I've bookmarket it, and will look more thouroghly later. I (Deer Tales) also went to their page and LIKE'd them as well. 🙂 I already LIKE your page (which brought me here). While here, I've followed your blog (as Beach) & your pinterest page. I'm kinda feelin' like a stalker at the moment! 😉
HI, I think I qualify for all 5 entries! I would love to try some of this nesting box blend… I was tempted when ordering the DE and pest pistol last month! jayne_rouisse@yahoo.com Thank you!
Hi! I posted on Treats for Chickens that Tilly sent me! I have already tried many of their products, but would love to try the "Tea." I figure I love a cool drink of iced tea on a hot day, so why wouldn't my girls deserve the same:) Thank you, Linda

I shop all the time for special treats for my girls, hit the discount berries at the grocery daily, on Firday nights I pop popcorn for them just love to spoil them but when I saw "Crack for Chickens" I just have to get that. I 'm still chuckling over that name. Cheryl
What a great giveaway! I have been following you on here and on facebook, and I LOVE your blog! I think my girls would adore the chicken crack. Thank you for having such fun giveaways!

I'd love to win a portable play pen. We built one ourselves, but then incorporated it into a run attached to the coop. A new portable pen would help us keep our hens safe from the hawks and dogs… we're having to babysit them every time we let them free range right now.
I would like to try the treat ball and the tea. I already "liked" Treats for Chickens" but said hello today.
I would LOVE to try this blend in our nesting boxes! I've looked at it, but haven't purchased any.
I visited Treats for Chickens and left a comment (but will be going back to peruse those treats)! LOL
Salad Seed Mix! Winters are long here in Maine (as I'm sure you know). I would love grow the salad seeds inside and place into the coop during those snowy months.
Already a fan here and on FB! Whoop! LOL
I didn't even realize (silly me) that I could like Treats for Chickens on FB! Got right on that one. I can't wait to try the Nesting Box Blend. That looks lovely. queenbeebirgit@me.com
What a great giveaway!!!! I would love to be the winner!!! Already following you!!!
I would love the nesting box blend!!! My spoiled girls would love this!!!!!!!
Already a fan on FB 🙂 after looking and gosh was it hard to narrow it down to just one, but I think the nesting box blend sounds wonderful. 🙂

OOOH I would love to win one of these! I have five entries. The thing that I would like to try is the nesting box blend
I liked "Treats for Chickens" on facebook – great resource. Already liked Tilly's Nest and joined this website via email. There are so many great products, but would have to choose the Nesting Box Blend. Your description of this product and how it has positively impacted your girls won me over. I think I covered all five ways to enter 🙂
Wow! These products are totally new to me! I love the idea of aroma therapy in the coop! I just spent the entire day Saturday deep cleaning the coop – something I do every spring. Top to bottom, hose it down… wish it stayed that nice all year long! Please include me in the drawing for your lovely giveaway!
Just visited their facebook page!
I think my favorite product is the Nesting Box Blend, but the Anti Icky Poo Oder Eliminator would be a close second… does it really eat up the dust/dander they put out? Wow… sounds almost too good to be true! I could really use some of that!
And I'm definitely a follower!! 🙂
I would love to try this blend in my nesting boxes when I get them all ready for my girls to start laying in the coming fall! 🙂

Don't enter me in this give away. I just bought a bag of this so I'm totally stocked. Just wanted to add that I do LOVE this product and it does smell amazing. I use it mixed in with pine shavings in one house and I've mixed it with sand in the other house and it works great mixed with both mediums. So don't hesitate to try it if you have a product other than shavings in your nests. Should work great.
Howdy!
Getting chicks in a few weeks. would love to try some of their toys since I'm getting wee babies. 🙂

I would like to try several of the blends, but I think the nesting box blend would be my first choice. I will be following all 5 steps, but not just because I want to enchance my chance of winning. I want to learn good techniques and know about the many resources out there.

This is unrelated to the contest, but my chicken don't automatically go in the coop at night. Is there something I can do to help with this? I am catching them and putting them in at night. I was hoping to free range them, but if they don't know how to go in, I don't think it is possible……
Hi Sandi! How old is your flock? Are they staying in the run even when it is dark? Are they falling asleep outside? How big is your coop and run?
The nesting box blend sounds wonderful. I 'd like to try that. I'm following your blog in Reader (so much help for a newbie chicken owner), I'm going next to follow you on FB and I liked and commented on Treats for Chickens on FB.
How lucky could a hen be with fresh herbal nest bedding! Great Ideas here. I also Love the Hanging Stuffing Ball with the Bell. You've taken Chicken raising to a new Level!
Refreshing new Ideas, Thank You,
