My posts aren't contradictory. My wording might be confusing. I have had no frostbite issues with my ADULT birds. Only my chicks- which is understandable in -50F temps.

Confused how? I'd be happy to answer questions... with all due respect to the OP. I was just reminding you of the rules: that banter is not permitted on BYC :)

I will add those hens were given to me this spring, they had frostbite previous to my ownership of them. But, this is off topic and disrespectful to the OP.

I doubt it is frostbite, although the ice ball makes me nervous. How far below freezing did it get? Mine have been in -50 F temps, so I don't think the cold would affect her as badly as you suspect. Please post some pictures. I suggest you seperate her. What is she being fed? Is she laying? Has...
