Vaseline

[BawkinOnTheBench]

We used Vaseline on the combs of our Leghorns, as we've read about. Of course, the Vaseline doesn't STAY there. The 3 formerly white leghorns are now gray.

Does anyone know - does the vaseline getting into their other feathers impair the ability of those feathers to keep them warm?

as long as their arent gobs of it you should be fine! give them plenty of dustbath and that should help! I had this same problem and switched to plain ole chapstick (non medicated)! it works wonders!

Have you tried liquid vitamin E, I buy mine from Freds drug store for a 4 oz bottle it's only$1.49, and works well on both dogs and chicks marrie.
