Is this frostbite??

[Stayc]

Hi yall! This is my only cockrel. I have noticed some black specks on his comb figuring fowl pox, thought it would run it's course. But the tip of his comb is new, and concerning. Is this frostbite? My temps havent been below 15 degrees. I live in keysville virginia. Any help is greatly appreciated i have a fully stocked first aid kit should he need anything. <3

Looks like very mild frostbite. He will likely lose the tip of that spike, but otherwise, should heal up fine on his own.

Is frostbite bad if it is white?

Looks like frostbite, Fowl Pox has its own separate identifiers. More than likely he will loose that tip of the comb and the rest should heal up just fine.

Another vote for frost bite here. I think you can put vaseline or coconut oil or something on the comb to prevent moisture from accumulating on it and freezing.

Lots of ventilation above roosting height and dry bedding.
