Flock & Avian Tonics
Botanical dusting powders, autumn molting tonics, crop bitters, and nest box aromatic herbs—hand-crafted for pasture broilers, egg layers, turkeys, and waterfowl in North Plains, Oregon.
Clean Egg • Non-Chemical Coop Hygiene Standards
Homestead poultry and pasture flocks require consistent digestive balance and clean roosting environments to maintain firm eggshell quality and steady laying cycles through damp Oregon seasons. Drawing from historic Tudor monastic poultry keeping, our avian galenicals utilize natural botanical repellents, crop bitters, and mineral-rich tonics.
• Dispensed exclusively in the private domain to registered patrons of the Baronial Apothecary Association ($5.00/yr annual membership dues).
