Help my show booted bantam comb is frozen

[Pidgey104]

It got down to 11 deg last night here in FL. I went out to check on everyone when I seen my show bantam's comb a blue color. What can I do for him?

 

[rooster-red]

Bring him inside an very slowly warm him up.

 

[Pidgey104]

would that save his comb?? I hope

If it turns black, there is no saving it.

figures my first show chicken and he's ruined

Showing as in for real show, or just 4h and fair type? If it's just 4h and fair type, even if his comb is damaged, that is not 100% of the score. If it's 4h, the presenter is like half the score. They look at body, feathering, weight, and type. Not all hope is lost. Chances not grand reserve, but can possibly do ok depending on what and how you are showing.

I was hoping to real show him. I have no 4h around here that has anything to do with chickens only horses.

whatever you do, don't rub..rubbing will cause more damage.
keep the roo warm.

fingers crossed it won't turn black.

in future...applying a little vaseline to combs and wattles can help prevent frostbite by keeping body moisture in, and water off.

Don't jump to conclusions quite yet... blue can mean that all the blood was going to the body to keep it's organs warm...You only really have to worry when it turns black. That's when the points can fall off...

Okay I'll try some of the ideas you guys gave. Thank you very much.

I'll cross my finger too
