I live in Houston Texas. The temps used to be as low as 40 degrees windy, but as I said, we lock up their run, so I don't think that's the case. And the temps have been heating up by about 10-20 degrees at night, so it's been getting a little "warmer". His comb is cold to the touch, though. Here's a picture:

Also, he's a rooster?

Even though you are not the OP, his comb is likely blue and cool due to lack of oxygen. It takes a lot to supply a comb like that. I don't see any evidence of Frostbite on your rooster.

(fwiw - a rooster is a chicken. a hen is also a chicken )

Other than a few feathers possibly missing, there is nothing wrong with the bird's neck

That's o.k. I see your concern, there's not a lot you can do.

The OP has not been on since they started the thread, so just waiting on them to reply and keep getting alerts LOL

I've never cer heard of frostbite killing a bird. Mine all lose their combs and unfortunately some toes every winter. I really should look into cushion combs....
