Okay we have had multiple days were temps have ran around 0 degrees. I have put vasoline on my hens combs but I have one who has some tips on her comb black and swollen. I continue to put vasoline on it. I clean their coop daily and remove manure. It is well ventilated at the top on the front and back. Even still I have some frost bite issues. The one that is the worst obviously has a fairly large comb.
It is supposed to drop below 0 tonight and I was going to add a heat lamp to help. ( I know they say this isn't needed and normally I wouldn't but I feel this is extreme and don't want the frost bite to worsen ). As soon as I plugged the heat lamp in the bulb blew. It was an old light and had not been used in years. I have no other bulb.
Now what? Would a regular bulb surfice and would the bright lite bother them if I were to use a 100 watt bulb?
Its supposed to start warming up some after tomorrow. What do you all think??
These are my pets not farm animals
