    Does my pullet have frostbite?

    I noticed about 3 weeks ago that my silkie pullet's comb has some grey on it. She has pink skin, so I don't think her comb is supposed to one day just turn half grey. Is this frostbite? Should I just leave it alone and keep an eye on it? I tried putting some vaseline on it once, but idk if that...

    Chickens feet are black and falling off!

    I have a hen who must’ve got frostbite on her feet over the winter. She was acting normal until a week ago when one of my other hens was attacking her so I quickly scooped her up to check her out and saw her foot was bleeding and coming off!! Her whole foot is black and of the other foot only...

    Roo's toe now bleeding

    In another post, I told how I thought my rooster toe had frostbite... maybe. (First pics) The toe tip was black underneath and the toe was swollen. I was content to let it do as it would and hopefully fall off. Update: It's been in the 40's to low 50's past few days, and I get home from work to...

    Rooster toe tip frostbit?

    My rooster, (Big Caramel) had a swollen toe. I thought it was either from him hurting it jumping off roost in morning, or it got frostbit. Now over 2 weeks later, and toe is still swollen but it hasn't spread to rest of foot. Toe tip seems shrunken and turning black underneath. I soaked it in...

    Rough Frostbite on Big Comb

    Hey all, this poor dude has had a rough few days. First, he seemed to be having circulation issue to tips and back of comb (getting purple-ish). This had happened in warmer weather but it ended up being very extreme two days of cold and bluster. I also noticed the tips going white. Then he...

    Frostbitten comb?

    Hello, this is my first winter keeping chickens and I’m pretty sure my cockerel (6mo Faverolles) has frostbite in his comb. Last week, I was pretty sick after getting my COVID vaccine booster, and I didn’t clean their coop as well as I should have. I left the air vent closed and didn’t clean up...

    Possible frostbite

    I have a bantam rooster (I'm not sure what breed he is) that may have possibly gotten frostbite this morning. 🙁 His brother that is the same breed had black tips on his comb ever since he was a baby, but this just popped up today. We had a cold morning, under 20°. Is this permanent damage? Or...

I brought her inside today because of the frostbite on her comb and she had one solid poop and is now shooting out diarrhea! At this point I’m just not sure what to do with her. For...

    Rooster’s head has turned purple from cold

    Hi everyone, I have a bantam rooster who I’m concerned about because his entire face has turned a purple color. The coldest it’s been is in the 20s but it’s obviously affected him quite a bit already. He did get some frostbite last year and the very tips of his comb ended up falling off, but...

    Recently I created a thread about Sunny (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-mobility-problems-lethargic-need-help.1446727/) but I think creating another will garner more attention as she needs further help and I'm not sure what I can do for her at this point. She is a seventh month...
