Charcoal and Ash: The SECRET to Healthier & Superproductive Chickens. This is how I use it

Описание: Backyard chicken keepers are often throwing away one of the most powerful natural tools for chicken health — clean hardwood ash and natural charcoal.
If you’re dealing with chicken mites, weak eggshells, coop odor after rain, digestive issues, or rising poultry supply costs, this simple environmental system could quietly change your flock.
Most people spend money on supplements, sprays, probiotics, and treatments — only to see problems return. But sometimes the issue isn’t what your chickens are missing… it’s what’s been removed from their environment.
In this video, I explain how clean hardwood ash and natural lump charcoal work inside a properly designed dust bath and coop system to support:
• Natural mite and lice control
• Stronger eggshell consistency
• Digestive support
• Reduced ammonia smell and improved air quality
• Zero-cost productivity using what most farms throw away
This isn’t about dumping ash randomly.
It’s about environmental control.
You’ll learn:
• Why natural carbon binds odor-causing compounds
• How hardwood ash contains trace minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium
• The exact dust bath formula I use:
50% dry sand or loose soil
40% clean hardwood ash
10% crushed natural lump charcoal
• Safe ash selection (untreated hardwood only)
• Why briquettes should NEVER be used
• How to keep the dust bath dry and effective
This is not a replacement for proper feed, clean water, ventilation, or good management. It is a layer of intelligent environmental support.
Old farmers wasted nothing. Waste became resource.
That’s the mindset behind this method.
