Is this the start of frostbite?

One of my hens combs is starting to turn white on the tips. Is this frostbite? What can I do to treat it?

I don't see anything serious. Frostbite is usually blackened tips. There's nothing that can be done once it happens other than to monitor for infection.

Prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Make sure the ventilation is huge. That eliminates excess humidity which is way worse than the effect of temperature.
You can try putting an A&D ointment on the combs or aloe and then Vaseline.

I get frostbitten combs and wattles on roosters but never hens.

I don't see anything abnormal related to her comb or wattles, at least with this photo. Could you get a clearer photo?

How cold is it where you are? It looks like frostbite to me, although not too severe (yet).

I live in Maine. It gets pretty cold, and windy.
