Frostbite feet

[bantamcrazy]

Is there anything I can do to help a chicken with frostbite feet? Or is there a way to cure it?

Can you post a good picture of the feet? Soaking with epsom salts may help if you can bring her inside. Spray the feet with an antiseptic such as betadine or BluKote. There has been an awful lot of frostbite this year with the severe weather. There have been a few people here on BYC that have posted about their chickens who have lost both feet. These chickens are learning to get around on their stumps, but it takes a real commitment to make these chickens pets who will require a lot of extra care in the future.
