My frizzle rooster looked like this when I got him out of the coop this morning. It wasn’t like this yesterday. His comb is yellow and crusty. He has yellow on his waddles too. What is this? What do I do?

I would clean the comb and wattles with some chlorhexidene and water, or soap and water. Yellow could be egg yolk but I cannot know what else that would be. I would consider possible fungus if you can’t figure it out. Was the comb also pecked or injured? Have you had any freezing temperatures recently?

Look to see if there are any broken eggs he may have gotten into to eat. The yellow stuff might be egg yolk.
If one shall disagree, then agree to disagree.
