aha, thanks for information. Touches heart. Ohh yea, only today find out when chickens heart is, cuz really feel when pick up one `scared` cockerel.
Talkin about my Vorwerk, in that first day when he had that ``blue, violet`` colouring i warmt his comb just to make blood circulate better, and in next day his comb was even hot, probably just after frost bite simtom, and now its looks pretty okey, so if u react fast and just make it warm and dont let him walk 2-3 days with cold comb after bite so it can recover. Of course if its not so worse.
Here is a photo of my n1 bird ,pet, rooster, took pic today(2 days after frost bite). As month round, I take a pic and weigh in.
2.7 kg in 9.5 months old.
Happy to see your Vorwerk recovered from frost bite comb! When I had hens with combs/wattles I made a mistake putting petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on my White Leghorn hen's comb/wattles. The next morning all the grease came off onto her head feathers and when she took a dirt bath the dirt stuck to all the feathers. She looked filthy and dingy until her next molt. I stopped using Vaseline and used Vitamin E oil to massage into the comb/wattles/legs/toes/toenails/beak! I did it at roost time so the vitamin dissipated into the skin of the hen. In the morning the chicken wasn't greasy, got a good vitamin treatment for her skin, and there was no dirt on the feathers from dust baths! No frostbite either!
I got tired of treating combs/wattles in cold weather so now all my breeds of chickens have no combs and none or very little wattles - Ameraucanas and Silkies. The Breda chicken doesn't have any comb at all. We had a Breda rooster shipped to us on accident and this is what he looked like - very sweet curious friendly calm bird for a boy but we couldn't keep him:
