Three Easy Ways to Use CoopShield Nesting Boxes After cleaning, apply a light, even dusting beneath or through fresh nesting material. Dust-Bath Areas Add a small amount to the flock’s established dust-bath area and mix it through the substrate. Under Feathers If the label directs, apply a very light dusting beneath feathers while carefully avoiding the head, eyes, nostrils and beak. How to Apply Move birds away from the immediate application area and provide good ventilation. Apply a light dusting to clean nesting boxes, coop areas or established dust baths. Avoid creating airborne clouds of powder—a little goes a long way. Keep the powder away from every bird’s face, eyes and respiratory openings. Reapply as needed according to the package directions, especially after cleaning or replacing bedding. Dust safety: Diatomaceous earth and fine herbal powders can irritate the respiratory tract. Avoid inhaling dust, consider wearing a suitable dust mask during application, use in a well-ventilated area and keep birds away until airborne dust has settled.

Frequently Asked Questions Where can I use CoopShield? Use it in chicken nesting boxes, established dust-bath areas and other coop locations identified on the package label. It may also be lightly applied beneath feathers if directed, while completely avoiding the bird’s face. Can CoopShield be mixed into chicken feed? CoopShield is presented here as an external coop, nesting-box and dust-bath product. Do not add it to feed unless the current package label specifically provides feeding directions. Does CoopShield replace cleaning the coop? No. Regular removal of manure, damp litter and old nesting material remains essential. CoopShield should be used as one part of a broader coop-cleaning and pest-monitoring routine. Can I dust it directly on a chicken? The manufacturer permits a light dusting beneath feathers. Avoid the bird’s head, eyes, nostrils and beak, prevent airborne dust, and follow the current package directions. What if my chickens already have a heavy mite or lice infestation? Confirm the pest and contact a poultry veterinarian for an appropriate control plan. Treating the birds without cleaning and managing the coop environment can allow reinfestation. CoopShield should not delay veterinary care for pale combs, weakness, skin injury, severe feather loss or a substantial infestation. Important: For external use as directed. Avoid contact with eyes and respiratory openings. Do not inhale the powder. This product is not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or an approved treatment when an active or severe parasite infestation is present. Always follow the current package label.
