Comfort Nests with Lavender

A customizable, low-dust nesting blend made from hand-pulled aspen excelsior and dried lavender. Designed to let you fill each nesting box exactly the way your hens like it, clean, breathable, and naturally comfortable.

Key Features

Customize Every Nest Box
Instead of pre-formed pads, you get 3 pounds of loose aspen excelsior, giving you full control over how much bedding goes into each nesting box.

Hand-Pulled for Low Dust
Our excelsior is hand-pulled rather than tightly compressed, making it easier to separate, fluff, and work with while creating less dust during setup.

Includes Dried Lavender
This kit includes 3 ounces of dried lavender, which can be mixed into the nesting material to add a light, natural scent commonly used in chicken coops and nesting areas.

8 Chipboard Nest Box Liners Included
Eight 12” x 12” recycled chipboard liners help protect the bottom of nesting boxes, absorb moisture, and make clean-outs quicker.

Wooden Nest Egg Included
A wooden nest egg helps encourage hens to lay where you want them and supports consistent nesting habits.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Made from 100% natural aspen wood fiber, a fast-regenerating tree that regrows from its own roots. Fully biodegradable and compostable.

Full Product Description

Give your hens a nesting setup that works with their preferences, not against them.

This nesting kit replaces rigid, pre-formed pads with loose, hand-pulled aspen excelsior, allowing you to add more bedding where needed and less where it’s not. The result is cleaner nesting boxes, better airflow, and easier maintenance.

The excelsior is paired with dried lavender, which can be mixed in as lightly or generously as you prefer. Many flock owners use lavender in nesting areas for its gentle aroma and traditional coop use.

To protect your nesting boxes, the kit includes eight recycled chipboard liners that sit neatly at the bottom of each box to absorb moisture and simplify cleaning. A wooden nest egg is included to help guide hens to lay in the right place.

Hand-packed in the USA using natural materials, this nesting blend is breathable, biodegradable, and designed for cleaner eggs, comfortable nests, and happier hens.

How to Use

1. Place a chipboard liner in the bottom of each nesting box

2. Add aspen excelsior until the box is comfortably filled

3. Sprinkle in dried lavender as desired
