You play soft, spa-esque music to lull your little chicks to sleep.

Me tooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally forgot about doing this until I read your post. I had this acoustic guitar cd with nature sounds like birds singing, rushing water and the sounds of horses in the background. I played it for weeks and then one night I forgot to turn it on. When I noticed that they were chirping and fussy I turned on their music and they settled right down. I also used to diffuse lavender essential oil in the room too. I am almost embarrassed to admit that.

That is ADORABLE. My girls are grown up and they still get lavender and other "soothing" herbs in their coop at night.

I recently thought about putting my house on the market and was worried that people would think a crazy person lives here because there is SO MUCH chicken art everywhere.

Oooh, diffusing lavender, there's a good idea!

Thanks! Another thing I do with essential oils is to take 32 oz of filtered water in a spray bottle and add 30 drops of Lavender EO and 30 drops of Rocky Mountain Oils Purify (or Young Living's Purification) and I spray the inside of my coop every morning as I am cleaning it. It always smells so nice and it really keeps the insects out of there.
