I had a broody hen sit for an additional week or so on an egg I thought was viable, but she eventually decided it wasn't going to hatch and gave it up on her own time
I'm guessing you are asking about combs ? I did have some issues with some of the larger combed girls with touches of frostbite last winter. I read a few recommendations on how to treat or prevent that, such as putting Vaseline on them or preventing condensation in the coop by allowing adequate...
