Frostbite? But how.....?

Moisture and cool/cold temps are the major factors. You can get frostbite with temps in the mid-30's.
I don't wind is the big problem. Take out one of the foam pieces and see if that helps. You might have to take out both pieces.

Nice coop BTW.

I had a faverolle that got frostbite from standing in the wind instead of going in the run. The tips of his comb eventually fell off.

Does it get cold enough for Frostbite in South Africa? (I am geographically dumb!) If it is frostbite then no it doesnt go away. What happened to mine a few years ago is that it swells a bit and then the comb points drop of and you have a "naturally" dubbed rooster. HTH--T
