Crowing
I have river sand lining the coop so poop and water removal are daily occurances, ventilation is quite open and above roost level, and he was getting applications of Vaseline when it drops to single digits, however I have not been impressed so far with Vaseline's water repelling abilities this winter. With his massive comb and wattles, he is the only one who has frostbite and its quite tough to heal with these constant melt/freeze days switching rapidly.I recommend looking for a way to prevent frostbite. You rooster has it, so others are suffering from the same cold. Get a safe heat source, seal any drafts, make sure there is adequate ventilation in the coop, keep it dry-remove waterers, keep poop cleaned up.
