One of my girls has a slightly grey-tinged part of her comb. They are very perky, and seem to be handling the cold well, but I'm wondering if this is from the cold. If it is, what can I do?

One of our girls developed a white spot on her comb as well. We put vaseline on it today. Should we just put vaseline on all of their combs and waddles?
I was wondering the same thing..I was surprised to see that white spot since it's a small comb, and I don't think humidity is an issue in the coop. Is frostbite always likely or inevitable when temperatures are this low?

We have a small vent toward the top of the coop, but maybe I'll crack a window as well. Thanks! This hen's comb has been pretty pale since her molt, so I might be overreacting.
