I use bag balm on my roo's and it works great. I just put it on their combs and waddles and they do just fine. It also helps if their combs have already turned purple. (Makes them nice and soft too

)

You do this before or after frost bite ?
Sorry Im new and have kids poking at me.
I will re-read alone... (if that happens )

I haven't had any problems with frostbite. My coop is very well insulated and I keep a red heat lamp on 24/7 on those really really cold nights. So far so good....

I cannot imagine trying to put ointment on them. I think they would go nuts. LOL

They don't really mind it, but it's easier if one person holds the bird so the other has both hands free. Especially with the big roos.
