A few nights ago it got pretty cold out, -10 degrees or so. I don't have a heater in the coop but it is free of drafts and dampness and I have all cold hardy breeds (except for the silkie), so I thought the birds would be fine. Today I noticed my 2 hens with the largest combs (orpington and barred rock) look like the have frost bite. I have been putting petroleum jelly on everyones combs before the go to bed (Ive heard mixed results wether this really works or not) and when I noticed the frost bite I put on some neosporin.
So here are some pictures of the 2 with frost bite, does it look bad and is their anything I should do?
By the way, they are still laying an egg a day and acting perfectly normal
