His comb got frostbite so in this pic it doesn't look too good, however it has healed with a few scabs here and there.

Roosters can be prone to frostbite with their big combs. Make sure to add lots of vents in the eaves if the coop to remove all moisture. He looks great!

Quinn has a big personality for such a tiny boy, I love it though, always trying to sit on me hehehe. His brother Harley is also big in personality and such the ladies man.

I do have vents on the coop but it was the outside exposure that caused it, the day I took the picture was way below freezing, had to bring him and two other bantams inside, Yeti the silkie hen and his brother Harley. I found that petroleum jelly works wonders on frostbite, it is such a great tool for chicken first aid.

Bantams have no idea they are tiny, they really think they are monster giants. :lol: Sweet birds though!

Yep, I even have a few hens that will shove themselves into me for nighttime hugs, Caramel is by far the most huggable one, also shoving her head deeper into the groove of my neck till she is almost in my shirt. :lol: Not the only hen that has crawled into my shirt and probably not the last :)
