Frost bit toes on silkie chick Help ASAP (Pics Added) Very graphic

He is fast asleep right now I am gonna do all I can possibly can for him. I feel so bad I let this happen to this little guy! He isnt just living he has been fighting for survival that is so sad out their in such cold temps. Bad momma hen...She should have been keeping her baby off the ice and snow.

Inside his mouth seems a bit pale like almost white is there something I can give him? I don't have any type of chicken medications on hand.

You can give POLYVISOL Enfamil (no iron)... this is a childrens A-B-C vitamin and the A will help.

You expect the impossible from your mamma... where she goes the babies will follow and if it is winter and she needs to go out to poo and eat then the babies will follow. If you allow your birds to hatch in cold weather and you want the mamma to care for them, then you must provide accomodation restricting mamma going outside onto cold and snow until the chickies are old enough to withstand those temps.​
 
Well she and baby have been restricted to about a 5x3 run with a insulated dog house attacted with a tarp over the run the only time I can think of is when the wind blew in the snow and icy rain and she was setting on the snow with the baby under her.
