In the Brooder
My beloved salmon faverolle rooster succumbed to the -40 windchill we had a few nights ago, and his crown is severely frostbitten and smelly I've been treating Oscar's crown with banixx and vetricyn, and he is now in the spare bedroom until spring but with how severe it is, and all the way down to his beak, is this something I should keep treating, or am I selfish for not culling him and ending his suffering? I feel sooooo bad for him! The other side of his crown is completely blistered and oozing, hence the gross looking feathers on his neck(I did just wipe them down with warm water so they're wet). Is there anything else I can do for him? This is my first year with chickens. The horses and goats all fared just fine in the weather, but my chickies struggled thank you all for any tips you might have! I've read tons about frostbite but I never found a thread where it was this bad.
