Rooster Comb Frostbite or Disease?

[Mschaetz]

I have had fowl pox run through. my chickens this past summer. I don't believe this to be fowl pox. I live in East Texas, very humid. We got some cold temps last week, single digits, with high humidity. The inside of my chicken house stays less humid, like below 50%, where outside was 70% and higher. It is also heated somewhat, it was 15 to 20 degrees warmer inside. They do have a 10 x 20 covered run.

I am attaching a pic of my rooster and a couple of chickens. I believe the chickens combs may be fine. I just do not know what to think of my rooster's.

Do not mess with it, it'll just make it worse.

Don’t rub or put anything on frostbite. Massaging frostbitten tissue may damage it more. It will heal on its own inna month or so. No creams or ointments since they will also freeze.
