    Is this frostbite or something else?

    Hello Smartie,,,,, I don't think it is any thing to worry over. I also have Anconas with this same 'spotting,,,, and they had it way before it got cold here. So I'm thinking its part of the breed. Just keep a watch that they don't get bigger,,,then we will worry,,,,take care,,,,,
