Ok. My plan of action is initial scrub and soak in warm dawn dish soap water ( 15 minutes or so each chicken ) then slather on the vasoline on each birds legs. I may take up the spray from then on out after the first initial or even the first week. I only have 7 birds, so it shouldnt take too...

Yeah, the stuff at Tractor Supply here, was for bovine and it was like $110 US. Not sure how much it had in it, but it was a large box. I'll give the oils and stuff a go and report back about it in a few weeks. Ugh. Thanks for the responses! Keep the ideas coming if anyone has anything else!
