Frostbite Treatment?

[eastereggermom]

Please read my thread in Social regarding my chicken who vanished for 18 days in Northeast Ohio! Happy news!

But, now that she is back, I am not certain what to look for regarding illness or frostbite. She is a 10 month old Easter Egger, and her comb (little that there is) looks ok. Feet too, but she sure didn't want to go back outside in the snow after she warmed up inside.

After so many days of exposure, is there anything I should be watching for/treating?

She is back in the coop, with lots of pine chip bedding, the heat lamp, food and water. Anything else?

maybe Vaseline, or petroleum jelly for her wattle or comb and if her legs are dry.

Petroleum Jelly is Vaseline. And yes that would be good for frostbite and dry legs.

I know petroleum jelly is Vaseline but I wasn't sure I spelled it right XD
