Help! Essen got frostbit really badly! I don't know how to help him. He had a heat lamp on in the coop and everything. It doesn't seem to bother him, but it has to hurt.

I would and should, but I'm worried about him crowing his butt off if I do. There were 2 unhappy accidents with my other 2 roosters in the garage, and it seems like a bad omen to put him in there at night. I could put him in the house but making sure he's not Saint Bernarded would be difficult (Saints love chickens, but not in a way thats good for the chicken). Thankfully, the weather is warming up...this happened when the weather dropped really fast, it went from like 35-40° to 10° that night.Poor boy! That doesn't look good!
I've heard that you should leave frostbite alone. Maybe keep him inside for a bit if you can so it doesn't get worse.
