Hi guys! Been having a quiet day at home. Hope everyone is taking care and keeping warm. I had a sort of idea and wanted to share. We had been talking about frost bite prevention stuff and I was thinking maybe this would be a good option? I use on my hands in winter. It is a blend of moisturizing oils, essential oils, and beeswax. Seems to offer good water resistance even after it sinks onto the skin and it feels very soothing on chapped or scraped skin. What do you guys think? Good for chickens?

The sweet almond oil worries me, it's pretty toxic to birds. Got any chapstick handy?

Nope dosent matter. The sweet almond is chancey it might be fine but it can cause problems in birds with allergies to it but you don't know until you use it and by then you're tatered.
Oh no! I had no idea sweet almond was bad! This is why I check with you guys first! I have lots of chap sticks does it matter what kind?
 
That would be better, not knocking sweet almond oil but if it isn't refined properly it can really be nasty stuff. If they don't do it right there are traces of cyanide in the finised product nobody needs that.
Burt's makes another very similar product with no almond oil in it (And I do really like the consistency of this stuff) might look into that later but for now chapstick it is! Thank you!
