bandaging combs???

would it help from frosbite? it gets real cold here in mn and my roos comb is already black so if i bandaged would it prevent it on other roos?

I wouldnt bandage but if you have some bluekote on hand to heal it a touch and then vaseline... The bluekote will stain everything it comes in contact with so be careful-but vaselines helps hold the heat in the combs and protects from frostbite-not 100% full proof buts works well

Frostbite is mostly caused by too much humidity in the coop, even in that climate, not just the cold. I read most every day on here about coops that do not sound well ventilated enough, which allows the humidity to escape.
