Thanks for the info on bantams with the full size rooster. I'll just wait and see I guess!

A couple of my eggs froze today. The shells cracked. Is it ok to hard boil them right away and still eat them?
Yes. You could also keep them in the fridge a few days. The quality of the white will be degraded though, once frozen, but they are still wholesome.
Yes, Yes, and Yes.So when I went out to water this afternoon, I noticed that two of the tips on my roo's comb are white. I'm assuming it's frostbite, temps haven't been higher than 18 during the day for 3 days. The coop is tight, but the water freezes solid over night. Can that be cold enough to frostbite even if I don't have high humidity? The coop is 8ft long with the eaves open(covered with hardware cloth) and there are vents in the gable. Could it be that he's getting drafts on the roost from the eave venting? Here are pics showing the setup. Should I put up some cardboard over the rafters to block any draft but still allow the ventilation? And will he be OK without any treatment? So far he's a fairly good young cockerel. Doesn't attack, respects my space when I'm in the coop, finds treats for the girls, but I absolutely cannot get my hands on him. Have never been able to, and don't want to jeopardize our working relationship and destroy his trust by handling him if he'll get over it without treatment.
Remember how a couple of months ago everyone was complaining about the heat and humidity?
