Keep up TMG. Half mooon felt hats to protect the combs from the frost :tongue2:
To save having to get the vaseline out!
Just because it's nearly summer doesn't mean that some people aren't still thinking of the winter  :blink:
Me, I'm an optimist and don't want to think of frost :)

 ::)  I can't see "Farmer Giles" fitting hats or even greasing his entire flock's combs and wattles whenever there's a frost expected  ::)

i would like to have the last word and point out that i kept almost 70 birds throughout the winter, all free range, not a smear of vaseline in sight, and at the end of winter didn't lose a single wattle :tongue2: nearly lost my fingers to frostbite but the chooks were all just dandy :D all combs and wattles are present and correct.......................

Jolly good! :tongue2: (Me neither)
Are you saying (and perhaps you'd better whisper the answer) that faffing about with vaseline is unnecessary? :D

(And Laverne is probably a better person than we 'cos I also haven't read posts from 4 years ago!!)

if my chooks lived in Antartica there's a possibility they might need vaseline, but here in the good old uk, i doubt it's really necessary, i hope it isn't, cos if my lot think i'm vaselining them upfor a frost they've got another thing coming, frozen wattles or no.
