Prepare: Place one (1) tea bag from any of your Extreme Cold Support blends into a clean, heat-safe container (e.g., a Mason jar or ceramic bowl).
Steep: Pour 2 to 4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea bag. Cover the container and let steep for 15-20 minutes, or until the tea has fully cooled to room temperature.
Pro Tip: For extra warmth, you can serve the tea at a slightly warmer (but still comfortable for birds) temperature when mixed into the 1-gallon waterer. Always ensure it's not hot enough to scald.
Dilute: Pour the cooled, concentrated tea into a clean 1-gallon chicken waterer.
Fill: Top off the waterer with fresh, cool water to the 1-gallon mark.
Crucial for Cold Weather: Always ensure a reliable, unfrozen water source.
Alongside the herbal tea, always provide a second waterer containing only plain, fresh (unfrozen) water. This is vital to ensure your flock always has access to pure water and allows them to choose.
Serve the herbal tea fresh each day. Discard any unused portion after 24 hours to ensure optimal freshness and prevent bacterial growth.
Clean your waterers thoroughly between uses.
Our Extreme Cold Support blends are your targeted response to severe winter conditions. They are designed to provide concentrated benefits during those really cold days when your flock needs extra help.
When to Use: Deploy these blends when temperatures drop drastically (e.g., below freezing for extended periods), during sudden cold snaps, ice storms, heavy snow, or when your flock is confined indoors due to weather.
Strategic Rotation During an Event: During a cold event, you can serve these supportive teas daily for 3-5 consecutive days, rotating among the three blends (Coop Warmth, Roost Relief, and Feather & Flow). This offers varied, focused support during the acute period.
After the Event: Once the extreme cold eases, transition your flock back to plain water for a day or two. Then, resume your regular 4-5 times per week rotation using your preferred general wellness blends (such as our Winter Wellness Blends).
These Extreme Cold Support blends are specifically for short-term, acute cold events and should be set aside until the next severe cold snap. They are not designed for continuous daily use throughout the entire winter season.
Remember, these blends are just one part of keeping your flock healthy in winter. Always ensure your birds have a dry, draft-free shelter with good ventilation, plenty of fresh, unfrozen water, extra bedding, and high-quality feed.

Our Winter Wellness Blends are designed for consistent, ongoing support throughout the cooler months, focusing on general immunity, circulation, and mood. These Extreme Cold Support Blends, however, are specifically formulated for targeted deployment during severe cold events – like deep freezes, sudden temperature drops, or extended periods of confinement. They offer more concentrated support for hydration, natural warmth, and comfort during those critical days when your flock needs extra help.
These blends offer supportive benefits for circulation and warmth, which can contribute to overall resilience in cold weather. They are not a guarantee against frostbite. Proper winterization of your coop (dry, draft-free, well-ventilated), constant access to unfrozen water, and a high-quality diet are primary defenses against frostbite. If temperatures are extremely low or if you notice any signs of frostbite, consult your veterinarian immediately.
These Extreme Cold Support blends are specifically formulated for targeted support during severe cold events (e.g., deep freezes, sudden drops in temperature, prolonged confinement due to harsh weather). While their herbs are generally nutritive, they are most effective when deployed strategically during these challenging conditions.
For general, ongoing winter wellness and comfort throughout the broader winter season, we recommend using our dedicated Winter Wellness Blends in your regular 4-5 times per week rotation. Use these Extreme Cold Support blends as your go-to when freezing temperatures hit hard, then set them aside until the next severe cold snap. They are not intended for daily, continuous use throughout the entire winter season.
Herbal teas are one part of a comprehensive winter plan. Always ensure your coop is protected from drafts but still has good ventilation to prevent moisture buildup. Provide plenty of deep, dry bedding. Ensure continuous access to unfrozen water (heated waterers are recommended). Offer high-quality feed, and consider a warm, nutritious treat like a fermented grain mash or cracked corn before roosting to help them maintain body heat overnight.es, often the pleasant aroma and subtle flavor of herbal teas can encourage chickens to drink more than they might plain water, which is incredibly important for hydration during warm weather. Remember to always provide a separate source of plain water, giving your flock a choice.
We are committed to quality and transparency. We carefully source our herbs from reputable suppliers who adhere to strict quality control standards. All of our herbs are human-grade and ethically sourced. We prioritize organic and sustainably harvested options whenever possible to ensure purity and potency. Our mission is to bring you the best nature has to offer for your beloved flock.
