Frost Bite on tips of comb

[Wyorp Rock]

have a heated waterer in the coop

I don't leave water in the coop at night. It just brings more moisture inside. I take it out when they go to bed & return it in the morning when I open, just past sunrise. I know it's probably too late to get pics tonight, but maybe tomorrow take some of the ventilation you have & get feedback. I thought I had plenty of ventilation but 1 girl got her comb tips frostbit so I added another gable vent. There's been 2 more freezes since & no further problems.

I'm sorry you're having troubles. I agree with @Hamiam Is there a way to take out the water container at night? This may be contributing to moisture in the coop.
Moisture and exposure are both contributors to frostbite.

The vaseline won't hurt her, most likely it makes us feel better when we do something
Will wait for photos, but a lot depends on the severity of frostbite, points may blacken and fall off.

Look forward to your photos - I hope all goes well for you tonight.

Lucky. We get on average -4F (-20C), down to -40F. Our low this year was -52F.

Goodness, Thats cold. Our weather changes all over the place. Close enough north to get cold temps and far enough south to get the heat. It can change as an example this week by 30-40 degrees over 24 hours

Sounds like the weather we have Hi today 40F tonight drop to 16F with wind chills in the - tomorrow Hi 23F with snow, then over the next few days back to the 50's during the day (IF the forecast doesn't change - LOL) A rollercoaster for sure. Definitely colder than last year, but that's just the way it is.

This is pics from back in the fall. We have about 6 inches of snow now. What do you think of the coop??

I have always envied those with coop hoops. It would never work in my climate, but they sure look handy.
I think it's perfect for them!
