Frostbite treatment/ prevention

[belindaschicks]

I am looking for something to use on my large comb birds to prevent frostbite. Last year I had a little bit of a problem with frostbite. The temps were well below zero for a couple weeks. I do have a well ventilated coop and it is not drafty. I tried vasaline looking for other options.

Frostbite is usually caused by excess humidity in the coop, so I would work on decreasing that. Keeping the bedding stirred daily to keep it dry, add more bedding as needed, prevent water spills in the coop, and keep up the good work with high overhead ventilation to allow the moisture to escape. Wattles will easily get frostbitten when they get into the water, then freeze. Where do you live? I have had a few roosters with rounded off points on combs from mild frostbite. More dangerous is when feet get wet by stepping into a water bowl and freeze, sometimes losing toes or the whole foot.

No, no and no again. That is too painful and it will cause bleeding and pain for the chicken. Below is what you should do to prevent frostbite... Without cutting off your chicken's comb.
If you think you have a case of frostbite on the comb or anywhere else, warm the chicken slowly. Never use a blow dryer, hot water, heat lamp, etc. If the feet are affected, you can soak them in warm (not hot) water to get the circulation going
