Chicken feet - dry scales?

[Sandbyter]

Hi,
I have a hard time keeping the pine shavings dry in my run over winter. I have completely enclosed it now with clear tarp and hope that will help, but, I noticed my chicks seem to have dry feet/scales.

Can I apply a cream to them? What should I use?

Thanks!

You could use petroleum jelly and mustard oil
