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 helped at all. This is my whole flock's (and my) first winter. Yesterday was the first cold night with temperatures dropping down to -1°C.
My coop stays open during the day and the chickens spend most of the day outside. At night I close the coop but the top of it and bottom of the coop door are open wich should provide ventilation. It is pretty muddy now though, so maybe all the mud creates more humidity?
I don't think it's affecting any of my other chickens. Most of them already have black/dark grey combs because they're silkies. My one bantam brahma is also doing great.
I don't have any better pictures at the moment.
