It's been very cold in the Chicago area so I haven't been able to spend much time checking on them. Today I went to give them some apples and tomatoes and noticed one didn't really seem to care. Went back out later to see if I could lure her out and noticed her feet. She ended up eating scratch grain as normal and was walking with no limps. They got mild frostbite on their combs that seems to be healing well so I don't know if this is cold related or what. They live on mostly dirt with mulch and leaves etc I throw in as well. Pics are of both feet seperatly

Hi! Can you wash her feet and post pictures of the bottoms of them?
I know I'm not winning any prizes with these photos but I was the best I could do alone. There doesn't appear to be a wound or blister or anything

I don’t see anything that obviously looks like frostbite on the feet, but with the pictures we can’t see in between the toes. I would,just pick her up and look her over every day or two. With frostbite on toes, the area may look swollen, but then become black and shriveled eventually. You may want to put some pine shavings or other bedding down for the cold weather, since dry clean bedding will help to prevent frostbite. Have a look at the pictures in post 1 here for a couple of pictures of what frost bite may look like with healthy and dead tissue:
