Black spots on comb?

[HappyChickens101]

I don't think you need to put anything on the hen's comb. It's already healing and isn't that large of a would. As for the rooster I am not sure. I would just make sure your coop isn't too drafty and leave it be. (I'm not a frostbite expert but my roosters have had it and it never bothered them.)

So it won’t hurt the rooster with frostbite if I leave it alone...? Like it won’t hurt his comb?

You could put the spray on it, but I don't know if it will change anything at this point. Once it turns black I believe it falls off. I don't know if you can reverse it by now.

Thank you, so when the dead skin falls off, his comb will just grow back and be ok? I’m sorry I keep asking questions

best to keep a well ventilated coop that's dry and free of drafts.

How does one do "well ventilated" and "free of drafts" at the same time?

The comb doesn't grow back . It won't hurt him and it's not going to bleed or anything, but he will just stay like that. I have one roo who got frostbitten a few years back and lost the tips of his comb, but he doesn't care and neither do the other chickens.

"Free of drafts" as in no wind howling through cracks in the wall. "Well ventilated" as in not stuffy and dusty. Sorry if it's a bit confusing!

Yes, i apologize, that is confusing. Ventilation that is above their roosting level that won't blow on them works well. Baffles can help direct the flow too
