We used vaseline on our White Leghorn hen & the only negative is that it's messy & stuck to her white feathers & then dirt stuck to the feathers when she dustbathed & stained her white to dirt stains that never came off till next moult. So w/ vet's ok we switched to using the vitamin E oil which worked beneficially to soak into the comb/wattle/face skin & didn't stain the feathers.
From Walmart we'd get this vit E/coconut oil blend ~ we don't need it now that we have no comb or wattle Silkies. This 12,000 IU is safer than the 24,000 IU bottle cuz the 24,000 has irritating lemon in it.
Yes that would be fine, but read the Ingredients, anything with fragrance or any sort of alcohol will dry the skin even further (hey this the same for your skin also! So read the ingredients), creams that claim to dry fast on your skin have alcohol in them this is why it dries fast. And dries your skin - now just imagine poor wee chooks comb!
