Yesterday I put my hens in their run. Four of them escaped while I had been gone all day. I didn't know it until that night when I happened to see one of my girls roosted on my deck. I put her back in the coop and found them all, but one. Today the hen that was missing showed up in the yard.
This winter I have put vaseline on all my chickens combs, wattles and feet. Its been the coldest winter that we have had in my five years of keeping chickens. I noticed today that a few of my hens have black and white comb tips. The hen who slept outside has a purple comb with black spots on it and there is some black on her feet too. I don't want her to be in pain! What can I do for her? Thank you for your help!!
 
My pullets and cockerel get frostbite even with all cold weather precautions taken, be sure to watch that they're acting normal. Often times it will go away, personally I wouldn't worry too much about it.
