Because it doesn't prevent frostbite.@aart why not vaseline on the combs I do it so I am just curoius?
Where in "Places" do you live in general? Do you keep chickens where winter temperatures regularly drop below 0?put heaters out, put out heat plates, and try to do everything you can to keep them warm. also, make sure to put vaseline on their combs
Wow! I never knew that. It usually doesn’t go below 10 degrees Fahrenheit here. Won’t be doing that again. (I only did it once)Because it doesn't prevent frostbite.
Have a link to a post where someone actually tried some with V and some without, they all got nipped....I'll have to look for it.
Best to leave hands off, before and after frostbite.
- Vaseline on chickens in Quebec = the combs are sure to get frostbitten. The salve adds moisture to the skin instead of protecting it, so covering the single combs of my birds with it during particularly cold nights is a very bad idea. If there is a way to protect single combs with Vaseline without icing them over, I have not found it.
Why not? I heard that you should if it's getting bitter cold. I bought a hen with a frostbit comb so I'm wondering about it. She was from a storage container coop in Michigan. Poor thing.Ditto Dat!
Do NOT do this^^^.
Because it doesn't prevent FB.Why not?
