Hello flock friends,
Our Rooster HeiHei’s comb is discoloring and I am starting to get concerned. Behavior is normal (eating, mating,drinking,attacking… LOL) However, it is starting to get worse. All other chicks are ok and look healthy… Thoughts??? What to do??? Please advise ☹️😳🐓🐔

What's your location? I'm betting you just had some freezing weather. He appears to have frostbite.
It was cold this past month in single digits… I did let then out to free range on a few warmer days however those are still below 30° days…. What do you do for frostbite?🥶
 
It is frostbite that has happened a bit ago. Do nothing. It just happens when temps are near zero. Check the ventilation in your coop, to make sure it is good overhead with no direct drafts on the chickens. Make sure there is dry bedding and no water spills which can help to prevent the humidity.
