The best way to solve frostbite is to have roosters/ hens with very small combs & wattles for Canadian temps or heat your coop to above freezing again with fresh air so no bronchial problems . Luck

My Bank Barn has 4, 1 ft. thick exposed concrete walls. After 2-3 days of sub-zero f weather it's like trying to raise chickens in an ice cube. Lots of ventilation and no draughts where the chickens were kept. I have better results and way less Frostbite in an old repurposed logging cabin covered with wooden shingles on the outside and shiplap on the inside.

Love my Buckeye hens....my mom is from Ohio so I felt obliged to have these hens, but now I think they're amazing. Looking to have a rooster or two if you have any that you want to sell

thanks
