I'm wondering how to tell if a frostbitten chicken has become infected. I have a rooster that got frostbite and I want to keep an eye on him. Thanks!

Yes, it can have a yellowish hue. Will wait for photos to comment furtherIt is just in the comb. I don't think he has an infection, I just wanted to know the symptoms to look for, so in the morning I can check him over thoroughly, but in the morning I will try to get pictures. It did look a little gross for a couple days, but today it looked better. More white and black than with a yellowish hue from what I could see (I assume a slight yellowish hue is normal).
There are little cracks in the wall between the boards, and there are is a hole on the top on two sides in a triangle shape, and then there is their little door that I close when it gets cold. Now that it is our first winter with chickens, I see that their ventilation isn't perfect, even though my dad and I were careful when building it.
