You rub it on the affected areas 2 times a day until the outer layer flakes off on its own. I've never had to do that though. Usually after I apply it the next day the comb is back to normal. And I didn't add in the plantain or calendula cause I didn't have any. I'm sure if you could get some though that'd be good.
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
2 Tablespoons Calendula petals dried
2 Tablespoons Plantain leaves
1/2 oz. Beeswax
Lavender oil
Put the coconut oil in a double boiler and turn on medium. Add plantain leaves and calendula and stir until submerged. Heat the oil until it's warm, not boiling, then turn it down as low as possible and let it stay for about 20 minutes. After time is up put the beeswax in then start straining. Once strained, add about 5 drops of lavender and mix. Pour into a jar and allow to cool before using.

That might be fine for a dry comb, but not if it's frostbitten.

So, you have applied your ointment to Frostbitten combs/wattles or you haven't?

Recipe looks great to apply to combs/wattles/tissue that may be dry when weather is warm and tissue is not liable to freeze.

I meant I've never had to apply two times a day for the two weeks because after I apply it the first day by the second things look better.

I've never had to deal with dry combs, but that's a good thing to keep in mind if I ever do!

Oils can make things look better, but it doesn't sound like what you were treating was frostbite.

Don't worry, it was!

Thanks to everyone for the advice and tips. I ended up putting a deep layer of straw in the coop and they have made it fine. We do have a frostbite victim but as I can tell it is very mild that a to advise on another post. Once again, thanks!
