    Frost bitten and bleeding comb, please help!

    Hi, I have an 8 month old rooster and his comb has frostbite. I’ve kept him inside for several weeks and it has gotten better. It was 45 degrees today ( considered warm at this time of winter where I live) so I thought I would take him out to the rest of the flock. I noticed some drops of blood...
