    I lived outside of San Antonio before living here......anything below 70 and I was wearing a winter coat 😄😄 now it feels wonderful to hit 40 degrees in February! Winter is brutal with outdoor pets

    Do I Cull or Treat This Frostbite?

    He is doing just fine! It looked really awful for about a week, then turned black and fell off several weeks later. Healed up surprisingly nice! But he has absolutely zero comb anymore. Thank goodness he recovered from it though, Oscar is my favorite 😍 although the experience has finally pushed...

    Do I Cull or Treat This Frostbite?

    We fortunately are having unusually warm Temps for the next week-in the high 30s and 40s! So he will have a small reprieve from the freezing cold at least. I will try the baby aspirin!

    Do I Cull or Treat This Frostbite?

    I thought I had enough ventilation, but now I believe I don't. They all prefer to roost outside if it's above 35F, so I have always left my coop door propped open at night until we had this cold spell. Closed it up for night and all my single comb chickens got some frostbite, although nothing...

    I made him some scrambled Eggs and leftover honeydew Melon and he gobbled it up. Outside again now. Hes showing preference to staying in the coop, but he's eating and drinking fine so I'm hopeful he'll be OK! Thank you for the advice!

    He's in the spare bedroom which is probably 60 degrees F, but I only brought him in as of an hour ago. It's around 32 degrees outside right now. And I have 2 other roosters, but they are both Bantams with rose combs

    Do I Cull or Treat This Frostbite?

    It just smells "off". Not quite the smell of infection, more like the smell you get from an open wound. So it's not infected as of yet.

    Do I Cull or Treat This Frostbite?

    Ok, that makes me feel better. And yes it sounds horrible lol but I kind of figure at least he won't have a huge comb to worry about next winter if he heals. Do you bring them in at that point or leave them with the flock? I hate to separate him and would like him to stay with everyone else if...

    Do I Cull or Treat This Frostbite?

    My beloved salmon faverolle rooster succumbed to the -40 windchill we had a few nights ago, and his crown is severely frostbitten and smelly:( I've been treating Oscar's crown with banixx and vetricyn, and he is now in the spare bedroom until spring😬 but with how severe it is, and all the way...
