 Hi all,
 I was just wondering with cold temps already here and I have never had RC birds of any kind are they less prone to frostbite than SC or do I need to take any special precautions with them? I have read conflicting stories about other breeds just wanted some input from people who know the breed.
 Thanks,
Danny

Rose Combs can get frost bite but generally not as easilyn as SC.   If you get below 22 to 25 degrees it  is almost certain.  Up here we use an electric oil-filled radiator to keep the temps over 30F.  Howard
