    Sudden knob color change - frostbite?

    The knob was black in the morning. After coming back from work, I saw the spot on its knob as in the photo. Did the goose suffer from frostbite? What should I do? (The vet won't be back for a while.)

    My chicken hasn't moved in a week. Frostbite?

    My hen was outside a week or two ago during one of the coldest weeks of the year. The cold has never bothered any of my hens before and they love to free range in the grass.
