Frost bite? It has been quite cold.. although they spend most of the day inside their coop. They have access to their run but can choose to go in and out.

No other symptoms that I can tell.. My RIR has a similar spot, more brown on the tip of her comb but she would not sit still for a photo..

?????
 
jeeze.. why did it go and get frostbite and what do I do about it???

I should say that their coop is fully insulated and heated, so she didn't get it inside her coop!! Silly chicken, going outside in the cold.. would think they'd have more sense!

Well, the spikes that are frostbit is dead tissue, that shouldn't bug 'em...
 
You could cut the tips off, its not painful at all, he will be completely fine in around 15 minutes, but no worse than that, the tips will fall off in a few weeks.
