Tell Me About:

"This botanical blend takes a genuinely intelligent approach to poultry parasite control. Neem, lemongrass, and garlic are all well-documented natural repellents that disrupt the mite and lice life cycle without any chemical intervention. Combined with cinnamon's antimicrobial properties and turmeric's immune support, this is one of the most complete natural flock defense formulas I've seen. I'd recommend it as a daily addition for any backyard flock."

    I've tried a few dust bath products and this is hands down the best. My girls started rolling in it within minutes of me putting it out. Their feathers are noticeably softer and I haven't seen a single mite since switching to True Roost.

    We have 8 hens and I was topping up their bath area with regular dirt every few days. This stuff lasts so much longer and the difference in feather quality is real. No more oily-looking feathers. Absolutely worth it.

    Really impressed. We've had backyard chickens for 6 years and this is the first product that's actually made a visible difference in feather condition. The lemongrass and mint scent is lovely. Four stars only because I'd love an even bigger pouch.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about True Roost Daily Flock Defense

    True Roost contains six 100% natural botanicals — neem powder, lemongrass, garlic powder, cinnamon, turmeric, and mint. Every ingredient is completely safe for all poultry, free from chemicals, pesticides, and artificial additives. The blend has been reviewed by a qualified poultry veterinarian and is suitable for birds of all ages and sizes.

    Simply sprinkle 2–3 tablespoons daily into your flock's existing dust bath area. It works perfectly alongside sand, soil, or dirt — no need to replace your current setup. You can also lightly dust it onto coop bedding for extra pest and odor control. Your chickens will naturally roll in it as part of their daily dust bathing routine.

    Each pouch is a 30-day supply for a flock of 3–7 chickens. For larger flocks, you'll simply need more pouches — check the usage guide on the product page for exact daily amounts based on your flock size. Subscribing means you never run out and save up to 40% on every order.

    The botanical blend works in two ways. Neem powder disrupts the life cycle of mites and lice, preventing them from reproducing. Lemongrass, garlic, and cinnamon create a scent environment that parasites actively avoid. Together they form a natural, chemical-free barrier that deters and reduces parasite activity. Most customers notice a significant improvement within 2–4 weeks of daily use.

    Absolutely. All six ingredients are 100% natural and completely safe for all poultry including chicks, bantams, ducks, and other backyard birds. There are no chemicals, pesticides, or artificial additives, making it suitable for birds of all ages and breeds.

    Yes. Cinnamon's natural antimicrobial action and lemongrass's fresh scent both help reduce bacteria, mold, and unpleasant odors in the bath area and coop. Many customers report a noticeably fresher coop within the first week. You can also sprinkle a light dusting directly onto bedding for extra odor control between clean-outs.

    All orders are shipped locally within the US. Due to the nature of the product and longer shipping times, please allow 3–5 business days for delivery. You'll receive a tracking number via email once your order has been dispatched so you can follow its progress.

    Yes. True Roost is a natural daily addition to your flock's hygiene routine and works perfectly alongside other treatments or preventative measures. Many customers find the botanical blend is effective enough on its own to keep mites, lice, and odors under control — but it's completely compatible with any other natural or veterinary products you use.
