A farm staple since 1899 — trusted by farmers, flock keepers, and families through every Minnesota winter.
Bag Balm® is a lanolin-based antiseptic salve that soothes and heals dry, chapped, frost-damaged skin and superficial abrasions — for animals and humans alike.
Its thick, protective formula won't freeze in cold temperatures, making it an essential coop-side tool all winter long.
❄️ Frostbite prevention — apply to combs, wattles, and exposed skin before cold snaps to create a protective moisture barrier
🐾 Foot care — soothes and protects cold-damaged or cracked feet on chickens and livestock
🪧 Wound support — helps protect superficial abrasions and irritated skin from further damage
💧 Lanolin, wax & antiseptic formula — promotes healing, locks in moisture, and won't wash off easily
🧔 Safe for animals & humans — works on your hands just as well as on your flock
How to use for poultry:
Frostbite prevention: Apply generously to combs and wattles before temperatures drop. Reapply before extreme cold weather events and throughout winter as needed.
Foot care: Soak affected feet in warm Epsom salt water for 20 minutes, dry thoroughly, apply antibiotic ointment if wounds are present, then coat with Bag Balm as a protective layer.
Won't freeze in winter — keep one in the coop, one in the barn, and one in the house.
