Hi
I was wondering if anyone uses bag balm on their chicken's combs and wattles in the winter to prevent any frost bite?
 
ya i would love to know too!
i love the stuff and would much rather use than vasoline. i dont know why it wouldnt work but i dont know nothin bout nothin.
 
I love it too, use it on every little cut, scrape, etc. My mother had a deep cut to the bone on her hand which she SHOULD have gotten stitched, but the retired nurse that she is, stubbornly refused and used bag balm instead, worked like a charm. I recently ripped 80% of my big toenail off (ouch!) and just used bag balm and a bandage and it's fine now.

Oh and with regards to chickens, I used it to heal up the navel of a chick that had a loop of intestine hanging out. I lubed up a qtip with it and pushed the loop back in, smoothered it with bag balm and now the chick is bigger than it's brooder mate.

I will also be worrying about frostbite here in Nova Scotia, Canada and would like to know this too.
 
well several inquiring minds would like to know..lol someone here has to of used it or knows of a reason not to
