Treat and Recover:
The ultimate flock care bundle for tackling lice and mites. Featuring David Grays Poultry Dust to help control external parasites, plus Nesty Boxes Healthy Hen Gut Guard and Natural Scaly Leg Balm to support recovery, wellbeing, and healthy skin, feathers, and legs after treatment
Please note: Healthy Hen Gut Guard and Natural Scaly Leg Balm are not parasite control products and are not intended to treat, prevent, or control lice, mites, or other parasites. These products are designed to support general health, wellbeing, and skin condition as part of your flock's overall care routine.
How to use:
Step 1: Treat Your Flock for Lice and Mites
Apply David Grays Poultry Dust according to the manufacturer's directions. Ensure all birds are treated thoroughly, paying particular attention to areas where parasites commonly hide, including around the vent, under the wings, and around the neck feathers.
For best results, also treat nesting boxes, perches, cracks, crevices, and other areas within the coop where lice and mites may be present. Repeat treatments as directed on the product label to help break the parasite life cycle.
Step 2: Support Gut Health During Recovery
Once the dusting treatment has been completed, begin feeding Nesty Boxes Healthy Hen Gut Guard.
Mix 20g of Gut Guard per 5 chickens daily through their regular feed. Continue feeding as part of their normal diet to support digestive health, maintain a healthy balance of beneficial gut flora, and assist birds during periods of stress and recovery.
A healthy digestive system plays an important role in nutrient utilisation, helping birds regain condition and maintain overall wellbeing following a parasite challenge.
Step 3: Nourish and Soothe Skin and Legs
Apply Nesty Boxes Natural Leg Balm directly to the legs, comb, and wattles as required.
The balm is designed to moisturise and soothe dry, irritated, or rough skin and can be used as part of your flock's ongoing care routine. Gently massage a small amount into the affected areas until evenly coated.
For birds recovering from lice, mites, or environmental stressors, regular application can help maintain skin condition and support comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is your feed organic?
No, our feed is not certified organic. We focus on maintaining a low carbon footprint and using premium, consistently sourced grains. Organic certification often requires frequent ingredient changes due to supply variation, which can compromise nutritional balance and quality. Our priority is stable, science backed formulations that deliver consistent results. Our grains are traceable right back to the grower, with some even being grown on our very own personal farm.
Where can I find more information about individual products in the bundle?
As this is a bundle offer, we don't always provide all the FAQs and information on the products on this product page. If you seek further information on something, search the product up on the Nesty search bar or contact Nesty Boxes.
How long does it take for Gut Guard to work?
You’ll see early changes within 24–72 hours, with firmer droppings and steadier appetite as gut function stabilises. By 3–7 days, the microbial balance shifts, reducing harmful bacteria and improving digestion. Structural gut improvements begin around 7–14 days, with full strengthening of the intestinal lining by 14–21 days. Peak performance benefits, including better feed efficiency and more consistent laying, occur after 3–4 weeks of continuous feeding.
Is Gut Guard safe to feed to chicks and pullets?
Healthy Hen Gut Guard has been scientifically formulated for adult laying poultry. There is no research or trials undertaken for the use of it in pullets, chicks, or poultry under the age of 16 weeks and is not recommended. If you are seeking a product suitable for young stock, Nesty Boxes suggests the Poultry Porridge Veggie Mash.
Is Healthy Hen Gut Guard suitable for all poultry?
Yes. The Nesty Boxes Healthy Hen Gut Guard is suitable for all adult laying poultry. It helps improve nutrient absorption, balance gut flora and strengthen immune defence. It has added diatomaceous earth for detox support and chilli for natural protection.
What is microencapsulation?
Microencapsulation forms a protective barrier around active ingredients, ensuring stability, extended shelf life, precise targeting, and enhanced control. This process improves formulation efficiency and optimizes performance. It is a process where tiny particles or droplets of one material are surrounded by a coating of another material, forming microcapsules.
Will this deworm my flock?
Healthy Hen Gut Guard will not deworm your flock. It promotes beneficial microbes and assists with nutrient absorption which reduces stress on the immune system. The microencapsulated technology will ensure that the active compounds reach the intestines, to help improve nutrient absorption.
Do I need to feed anything else when using Healthy Hen Gut Guard
This is a concentrated supplement designed to mixed into your flocks existing feed. The existing feed should be a balanced ration that supports the nutritional needs of laying poultry. This could include the Nesty Boxes Complete Feed, Nesty Boxes Veggie Mash, and or a pellet or grain mix from your local fodder store. The daily recommended feeding rate is 20g per 5 chickens per day. Chickens eat roughly 130g per head per day, thus 20g of Healthy Hen Gut Guard is mixed into 650g of feed.
Can I feed Healthy Hen Gut Guard all year round?
Yes. Healthy Hen Gut Guard is an all natural, plant based concentrate that can be safely mixed daily into your flocks feed. Its low inclusion rate makes it safe for all adult poultry and easy to use. It is powered by essential oils like oregano and thyme, MCFAs, organic acids, probiotics and functional herbs. The perfect combination to use as a daily supplement for optimal health and wellbeing.
