When it comes to raising healthy, productive chickens, the little details matter. One often-overlooked factor that can make a big difference in your coop is your choice of bedding. That’s why Las Vegas Horse Ranch is proud to be the exclusive local dealer of Fly Away Shavings — a premium pine shavings blend infused with all-natural peppermint oil that offers major benefits for both chickens and their caretakers.

Let’s break down why Fly Away Shavings are such a powerful addition to your chicken-keeping routine.

Peppermint Oil = Healthier Hens & Better Eggs

Fly Away Shavings are more than just a fly deterrent. These all-natural pine shavings are infused with pure peppermint oil, which chickens naturally absorb through their skin, feathers, and feet.

The result? A healthier, calmer bird — and one that lays more consistently.

How it works:

Peppermint oil helps improve circulation and respiration in chickens.
It acts as a natural stress reliever, lowering cortisol levels.
Healthier birds often translate to higher egg production and improved egg quality.

Customers regularly report a noticeable increase in egg output when switching to Fly Away Shavings. It’s a natural way to support your flock’s well-being.

All-Natural Fly Repellent

If you’ve ever spent a summer day near a chicken coop, you know how frustrating flies can be. They spread disease, stress your flock, and make chores miserable.

Fly Away Shavings help solve that with the power of peppermint:

The strong, fresh scent of peppermint oil repels flies, gnats, and mosquitoes.
It helps create a cleaner, more pleasant-smelling coop.
You won’t need harsh chemical sprays or artificial pest control.

This makes Fly Away Shavings ideal for natural poultry keepers or anyone looking to reduce chemical exposure in their barn.

Ultra-Absorbent Pine Shavings

In addition to the benefits of peppermint oil, these shavings are crafted from premium pine wood and designed for maximum absorption.

Why that matters:

Drier bedding = reduced ammonia buildup
Helps control odor and respiratory issues
Cleaner environment for your chickens and eggs

Whether you're raising backyard chickens or managing a larger flock, Fly Away Shavings help you maintain a healthy and low-maintenance coop.

Safe for All Animals

Fly Away Shavings are safe for more than just chickens. They’re ideal for use with:
