So my rooster hasn't been himself for the past 2 days. He seems a bit weaker. The other chickens were running around him earlier and almost made him lose balance. The most obvious problem is his right wattle and ear lobe. They are swollen and pale. I think it's frostbite because the temperatures dropped below freezing point in the last 3 days. We had snow and wind. Today it's better, at least we have sun. Now he's sitting in the sun. He still eats and drinks and when I give them bread he is eating directly from my hand, but he lost his rooster grace and the wattle and ear lobe are still swollen.
I know that usually frostbitten skin turns black, so I don't really know what to do.
