Updated: Sep 27

If you’ve been around here long enough, it’s no secret that Coop Recuperate is hands down my favorite product for our coop bedding. Part of the reason I got back into backyard chickens was because of this product!


Before Coop Recuperate, I hated the smell of backyard chickens. They poop a bunch, create a lot of dust and just don’t smell fantastic. Coop Recuperate changes all that! Well, not the poop part, but our coop smells lemongrass and eucalyptus fresh!


The Power of Essential Oils for Your Coop

Strong Animals Chicken Essentials has done something amazing by carefully formulating their products using essential oils that are safe for chickens, ducks, and geese. As someone who has used essential oils on my family for years, I was thrilled when Strong Animals Chicken Essentials launched their products specifically for backyard chickens.


Today, I want to focus on two key ingredients in Coop Recuperate: organic lemongrass and organic eucalyptus essential oils. Let’s dive into why they’re so beneficial for your coop and your flock.


I’ve been using essential oils on my family for years. So, when Strong Animals Chicken Essentials launched, I was super excited! Combining backyard chickens and essential oils? Count me in!


Today, I’d love to focus on the organic lemongrass and eucalyptus oils we find in Coop Recuperate. Let’s start with lemongrass essential oil.


Benefits of Lemongrass Essential Oil

The benefits of lemongrass essential oil go way beyond its amazing smell! Here’s why it’s such a powerful addition to Coop Recuperate:

  • Fights bacteria and yeast

  • Helps combat fungus

  • Reduces inflammation

  • Aids digestion

  • Repels bugs

  • Eases muscle pain and headaches

  • Acts as an antioxidant to boost the immune system


Incorporating lemongrass essential oil into your chicken coop not only helps your flock but can benefit you, too!


Benefits of Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Now let’s talk about eucalyptus essential oil. It’s another powerful oil that offers a range of benefits:

  • Supports respiratory health

  • Boosts the immune system

  • Helps with headaches and sore muscles

  • Eases stress and supports mental clarity

  • Has strong antimicrobial properties that fight bacteria, fungi, and viruses


How does eucalyptus help chickens? The antimicrobial properties themselves work magic in your coop. The soothing scent is delightful. And, knowing that it is working against all the bad things that want to grow in an environment where chickens are, gives me great peace of mind that I’m doing the right thing for our flock.

Make Coop Recuperate Part of Your Coop Routine

Does this sound all good to be true? It’s not! The combined duo of organic lemongrass and organic eucalyptus essential oils is a powerhouse in keeping bedding healthy. Healthy bedding reduces the chance of mites and lice, respiratory issues, and other unhealthy environments where bacteria and fungus thrive. A dirty, unhealthy environment is the start of most chicken illnesses.


Coop Recuperate freshens and lengthens the life of your bedding. It keeps the bugs and flies away and cuts back on bacteria growth. All products are natural, use organic essential oils and have no egg withdrawal period.


Strong Animals Chicken Essentials has changed the way we do backyard chicken keeping. They have made it easier, more enjoyable and healthier for our family and the flock. If you’re on the fence about jumping in with both feet on all the products, I’d highly recommend starting with Coop Recuperate.


You’ll walk out of your coop smelling lemongrass and eucalyptus fresh and your chickens will thank you!


Until next time,
