Heard this one today. My easter egger had about half of his very large rose comb frostbitten, depite vaseline and lights (it got to -17 here). Today a fellwo chicken raiser told me that if a comb gets frozen, the rooster goes sterile. I can't see how this would be true- he is mating, so still has some sex hormones going on.... as far as I can tell, the comb is not resonsible for sex hormone regulation... has anyone heard this rumor?
