I have an adorable bantam Wyandotte rooster. His comb has no fear of frostbite, but his wattles are nice and long. When he drinks the tips of the wattles touch the water, and it freezes. Fast. I noticed that the very bottoms of his wattles are a hard crusty black - Almost look burnt. I was wondering, how do I keep it from getting worse? Is there a way to bandage up his wattles until I don't have to worry about the water freezing on his wattles? Or a better water system? I started putting on petroleum jelly on his wattles, which act as a waxy shield against water. His frostbite isn't very bad now, I just don't want it getting worse...
