So my 2 roosters have frost bite. I'm not sure why. Their coop is ventilated, plenty of fresh straw/bedding and has a heat lamp. I'm at a loss and so upset about their combs. I worry about them being in pain. Tomorrow I'm going to put Vaseline on their combs. I've read it is suppose to help.

Anyone else have any advice for frostbite on your chickens?

I live in northern Indiana. We're having a pretty cold winter. Last night with the wind it was -30°. The coop has straw bales around 3 sides to help insulate/block the wood. View attachment 1224979 View attachment 1224980
