Frazzled chicken tender
Songster
I wasn't sure where to post this, but figured might fall under coop maintenance. I've been spraying an "all natural" flea repellent in the coop to deter flies (after changing out shavings). I've looked at the ingredient list and it contains just essential oils (peppermint, clove, cinnamon,cedar, rosemary) and eugenol (which I read comes from cloves). It's been cost effective as most essential oils are expensive. I figure the use of essential oils around chickens is probably a new thing so not much safety information around. But I wanted to check and see if anyone knew of reasons not to spray this in corners of the coop and on the floor. It seems safe, but I realize just because a product is all natural doesn't mean it's safe. Thanks for any input!
