[BinaryChicken]

Help my sebright rooster's comb has gone purple overnight! i think the place i had him wasnt quite warm enough! is it frozen comb?
how do you deal with a frozen comb! Need help soon!

 

[salt and pepper]

The only thing i can think of is to thaw it out and put Vaseline and antibiotics on it. Hope it gets better!

Thaw it?

 

[BinaryChicken]

i believe the right term would be frostbitten comb. would you thaw that?

 

[salt and pepper]

sometimes people catch it while the comb is still frozen. when it's black or blue that means it's already thawed. hope it gets better!

i think hes doing better now. his comb is back to red and i put some petroleum jelly on it.

 

[salt and pepper]

I'm glad It's getting better! I hope i helped

as a purple comb does not always mean frostbite.

How is his breathing? Is he lethargic or walking a bit drunkenly?


Good luck with your Roo.
