Natural Aspen Chicken Nesting Pads with Organic Herbs

Give hens a clean, comfortable laying surface with My Favorite Chicken chicken nesting pads with organic herbs. Each 13 × 13-inch nest box liner combines springy Great Lakes aspen excelsior fiber with a colorful blend of certified organic herbs and edible flowers.

The open aspen fibers cushion eggs and allow moisture and debris to settle below the laying surface, helping eggs remain visible, drier, and easier to collect. Learn more about how nest pads support comfort and egg collection. The included botanicals add a naturally pleasant aroma without artificial fragrances, colors, or preservatives.

Why Choose Herb-Infused Chicken Nesting Pads?

Cleaner laying surface: Aspen excelsior helps separate eggs from moisture and debris.
Natural cushioning: Springy fibers help limit egg movement and provide hens with a comfortable place to lay.
Organic botanical blend: Eight herbs and flowers add natural color and aroma to the nest box.
Shapeable fit: Flexible 13 × 13-inch pads conform to most standard chicken nesting boxes. For box layout and sizing guidance, see our guide to the best chicken nesting and laying boxes.
Easier egg gathering: Eggs remain visible instead of becoming buried in loose bedding.
Simple maintenance: Lift out the liner, shake away dry debris, and replace it when needed.
Natural materials: Aspen fiber and kraft-paper backing break down naturally under suitable composting conditions.

Certified Organic Herb and Flower Blend

Each nesting pad includes a light blend of certified organic and non-GMO botanicals:

Lemon verbena
Calendula
Chamomile
Echinacea
Lavender
Lemon balm
Spearmint
Rose buds and petals

The herbs are included for their natural color and aroma. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, repel, or prevent disease or parasites.

How to Install and Maintain the Nest Liners

Begin with a clean, dry chicken nesting box.
Place one pad in the box with the kraft-paper side facing down.
Gently shape or fluff the aspen fibers to form a comfortable nest.
Lift out the liner and shake away feathers, dried droppings, and loose debris during routine cleaning.
Replace the pad when it becomes wet, heavily soiled, compressed, or damaged.

To renew the botanical aroma between pad changes, add a light sprinkle of Organic Nest Box Herbs for Hens.

Chicken Nesting Pads with Organic Herbs: Frequently Asked Questions

Which side of the nesting pad faces down?

Place the brown kraft-paper side flat against the bottom of the nesting box. The aspen fibers and organic botanicals should face up to form the cushioned laying surface.

Do these pads fit standard chicken nesting boxes?

Each pad measures 13 × 13 inches and is shapeable to fit most standard nesting boxes. Measure unusually small, narrow, or custom boxes before ordering.

What herbs are included in the nesting pads?

The blend contains certified organic lemon verbena, calendula, chamomile, echinacea, lavender, lemon balm, spearmint, and rose buds and petals.

How do I clean an herb-infused nesting pad?

Lift the pad from the box and gently shake away feathers, dried droppings, and loose debris. Replace it rather than washing it when the pad becomes wet, heavily soiled, compressed, or damaged.

How often should the nesting pads be replaced?

Replacement frequency depends on flock size, laying habits, moisture, and how often a box is used. Inspect pads regularly and replace them when they no longer provide a clean, dry, cushioned surface.

Are the herbs intended to treat pests or poultry health conditions?

No. The botanicals add natural color and aroma to the nesting area. They are not a substitute for sanitation, ventilation, pest management, or veterinary care.

How are these different from the plain Natural Aspen pads?

Both products use shapeable Great Lakes aspen excelsior fiber and kraft-paper backing. This version includes eight organic herbs and flowers; the plain version contains no added botanicals.

Can used nesting pads be composted?

The aspen fiber, herbs, and kraft paper can break down naturally. Remove unsuitable contamination and follow local composting guidance before composting used poultry bedding.
