Winter Wellness Blends FAQ
Brewing Instructions
Our Winter Wellness teas are designed for simplicity and effectiveness. Follow these easy steps to prepare a delicious and supportive brew for your flock:
✔ Always provide a second plain waterer alongside.
❌ Discard any unused tea after 24 hours.
How To Use Flockfolk Tea As a Mash
In addition to serving teas in a waterer, you can also make a nutritious mash. This is a great option if your flock doesn’t like flavored water or if you want a more targeted way to deliver the herbs.
(1) Brew: Steep the tea bag in freshly boiled water for 15–20 minutes. Let it cool completely before using.
(2) Mix: Pour the cooled tea over your chickens’ feed, adding just enough to moisten and create a soft mash. The texture should be damp and crumbly — not soupy.
(3) Serve Fresh: Offer the mash right away and only make as much as your flock will finish in one sitting. Toss any leftovers after 24 hours. Always keep plain, fresh water available alongside the mash.
How To Serve Your Flock For Optimal Results
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.
We recommend serving these gentle, nutritive teas 4-5 times per week, rotating between the three blends (Cozy Coop Tonic, Root & Resilience, and Winter Shine).
This consistent, varied approach helps maintain optimal hydration, digestion, and overall comfort during cold weather.
Clean your waterers thoroughly between uses.

Understanding Herbal Rotation: Winter Wellness System
The true power of this collection lies in the power of rotation! Just like a varied diet is healthier for us, a varied herbal routine brings a broader spectrum of gentle support for your flock.
This approach helps prevent over-reliance on any single herb and keeps your birds engaged and interested, while offering a range of light, seasonal wellness benefits throughout the colder months.
How to Use:
Consistency: Offer herbal tea 5–6 days per week, rotating between Cozy Coop Tonic, Root & Resilience, and Winter Shine.
Plain Water Days: Always keep 1–2 days each week with plain, untreated water.
Choice Matters: Always provide a second waterer with plain, fresh water alongside the herbal tea. This ensures your flock can choose what they prefer and always have access to pure water.
Rotation Tip: Simply brew a different blend each tea day, then repeat the cycle.
This simple rhythm helps provide variety and steady hydration support all winter long.
Complementary Care - Winter Essentials
Plain Water Days
Offer fresh, plain water on 2–3 days each week, or anytime your flock seems to prefer it. Chickens can be finicky about flavored water, and having plain water days ensures they maintain consistent hydration. In freezing conditions, check waterers frequently to keep them ice-free. Heated bases or rubber bowls that can be knocked free of ice are very helpful.
Balanced Approach
Winter Wellness Blends are designed as a gentle supplement to support hydration, digestion, and comfort. They are not a replacement for the essentials: a balanced diet, adequate housing, and attentive care. Think of them as a way to add variety and light herbal nourishment on top of your flock’s core needs.
Coop Environment: A dry, draft-free coop with proper ventilation is key. Ventilation removes excess moisture, which prevents frostbite and respiratory issues.
Bedding: Deep bedding (such as pine shavings or straw) helps provide insulation and a cozy environment. Stir and refresh bedding as needed to avoid dampness.
Feed: Offer a high-quality layer or all-flock feed appropriate for the season. Many keepers add scratch grains or black oil sunflower seeds in the evening to give birds a little extra warmth from digestion.
Fresh Air & Sunlight: Allow safe outdoor access when possible. Sunshine boosts vitamin D and encourages activity, which helps circulation and feather condition.
Additional Care Tips
Monitor Frostbite: Keep an eye on combs, wattles, and toes for early signs of frostbite. Petroleum jelly or specialized balms may provide some protection in extreme cold.
Protein During Molt: If your birds are still finishing a molt, ensure protein levels are adequate to support feather regrowth.
Enrichment: Provide small logs, perches, or cabbage heads to peck at indoors when outside time is limited. This reduces boredom and pecking behavior.
Will These Teas Help Keep My Chickens Warm?
These blends are not a heat source, but they’re crafted to support your flock’s natural ability to handle cold weather. They encourage consistent hydration (especially important in winter), aid digestion for steady metabolism, and promote overall comfort. A well-hydrated, well-fed bird is better prepared to adapt to cold conditions. However, they are not a substitute for proper coop insulation, ventilation, or supplemental heat in severe weather.
Can I Serve The Tea Warm In Winter?
Yes — after steeping and cooling to a safe, comfortable temperature, you can offer the tea slightly warm when diluting into the waterer. This can encourage drinking on very cold mornings when birds may be less inclined to sip.
🥣 Mash Option: You can also use the brewed tea to moisten feed into a warm mash. This is a great way to deliver herbs directly, especially in winter when chickens sometimes drink less. Just be sure the mash is damp and crumbly (not soupy), serve it right away, and only prepare what your flock will finish in one sitting.
Can I Use the Winter Wellness Blends Year-Round, Or Only In Winter?
The Winter Wellness collection is crafted specifically to support flocks during colder months. These blends encourage steady hydration, help maintain digestion for efficient metabolism, and provide natural comfort that’s especially useful when temperatures drop. They are best used when daytime highs are consistently cool and nights are chilly.
As the weather begins to warm, it’s a good idea to transition over to the Summer Wellness collection, which is formulated for hot days and summer heat. In regions with mild climates, some flock keepers may only need Winter Wellness for part of the year, while those in colder climates may rely on it from late fall through early spring.
If your area experiences fluctuating temperatures, you can choose blends week by week. On colder stretches, offer Winter Wellness; once days are consistently warmer, begin offering Summer Wellness instead. Think of them as complementary systems: Winter Wellness supports comfort and hydration in cold weather, while Summer Wellness helps during heat stress.
No matter the season, always provide your flock with a second plain waterer so they can choose, and remember that these teas are a supportive addition—not a replacement for proper feed, ventilation, insulation, or good flock care.
How Else Can I Help My Chickens Thrive In Winter?
Beyond our supportive teas, ensuring your birds have a dry, draft-free coop with good ventilation is paramount.
Provide plenty of deep, clean bedding for insulation.
Ensure continuous access to unfrozen water (a heated waterer is highly recommended).
Offer a high-quality feed, and consider nutritious winter treats like warm oatmeal or scratch to help them maintain energy and body heat.
Are the Winter Wellness Blends Safe For All Poultry?
Yes, they are formulated for chickens, but may also be safely offered to other small poultry such as ducks or turkeys. Always introduce gradually and ensure plain water is available.
