You know whats crazy, I started putting him in a cage in the garage at night and last night I went in to grab him and low and behld! He was roosting in the hen house like a good boy! Silly roo ill continue to keep an eye on him incase he desides to go back outside, but so far so good

what were the temps that the guy was exposed to and how about draft?

Poor fella! I hope he continues to roost inside now!

its not the temp...or really the draft...its the amount of humidity in the coop...if you can't add ventilation, which in my
case I cannot...it will happen. Again, apply bag balm to the injured areas.

here is my handsome boy....

here is his comb now...people say vaseline, try bag balm instead...mine is beyond saving..it has hit several of my hens as well...
the black will fall off in the warmer weather, not much you can do to prevent it, unless you lower the humidity in your coop.
