roo's frostbitten comb.... help?!?!

[new_to_chickens]

I, too, have been having problems with frostbite. I have two roosters that I have been bringing indoors off and on since yesterday because of bleeding combs. I know the one roo has frostbite. Some of his spikes are black and one keeps bleeding. It seems like it happened overnight, literally.
The other roo got in a fight yesterday and now has a wounded comb. I have been opening the coop up to the run, but all the chickens stayed inside today. I feel really bad for them, but they seem to be happy and healthy...other than the bleeding, but they aren't complaining about it.
My one roo, Mr. Big Time, with the frostbite has a much bigger comb than Otis, the fighter. I hope they all recover. I will just have to keep them locked in the coop until this weather breaks. I am glad to read the advice from this thread...it will help me figure out what to do for my guys.
Thanks!

our birds are still in the coop. they haven't minded as much as i thought they would. I think i dislike itmore than they do. lol
It's FINALLY been sunny today.... I'm going to be checking to make sure it stays sunny and about 25ish tomorrow because if it is, I might talk DH in to letting them stay out. Poor things. The lady we got our birds from said her (5) roos have it too. She says they're fine and that she does and advises putting something on the comb to keep the moisture in so they don't bleed. but she just keeps them out. Sometimes I wish i could be less sensitive to animals...... BUt i'm glad i'm not.
Can't wait for this frigid weather to go back to normal winter weather.

I hear everone coats their roos Comb with vasoline for
protection against frost bite
but I just used a can of vegtable oil spray. and so far so good.
I am one for short cuts.

ksct: I hope your chickens are doing better. After fighting the bleeding all day Friday, the roos seems to have calmed down. All the chickens have had to stay in the coop for most of the weekend. They were allowed out yesterday because it was so nice, but they were locked in today. I have given them plenty to do so they won't be bored. Anyway, I hope things are going better for you too...keep us posted!
Thanks!
