Frostbite on both legs! Help!

PS: Just so people don't think I'm a total dirtball, the coop is all white, but the metal is just dirty from laying in the woods in a pile at dad's house. It was too cold to wash it when we finally got it erected (the day after it was finished, we got about 6" of snow or more! Talk about timing!).

Like @centrarchid said you have a very nice coop building! Don't worry so much about looks for now, just function, and watch out for high humidity.

Here's her feet two days ago.

 

[centrarchid]

Left foot may have enough toes left when necrosis ends for hen to roost up. Two toes on left may remain. Right foot will likely loose all toes. She will also have some walking ability left as well.

 

[lauranickerson]

So do you think she may still be able to roost? You can see in the picture, but the tow on the furthest right in the picture is curling under and dying I think. She is standing decent but still isn't walking forward much at all yet. You think she's going to be okay? He attentiveness, eating and drinking, and poos all look good. She makes noises occasionally too. I wrapped her feet after applying ointment after this picture so that it could keep some of the ointment on, as well as keep the poo off her feet. I will most likely change the bandage tonight. Her left foot is swelling pretty bad, to the point that it look like her scales are stretching apart and bleeding.

 

[centrarchid]

She will be able to walk in a hobbled manner. Swelling in this situation indicates she is still trying trying to salvage tissue. Prognosis long-term is good,

So I was cleaning out her little make-shift pen thing last night (a rubbermaid tub) and I noticed a significant amount of blood in her poops. Is this a big issue, or could it just be from stress?

Also, it's getting pretty warm here now so I let her play outside for a while. She didn't walk around much, but still...

Potential major problem. How is her weight? Coccidia or worm problem?

 

[lauranickerson]

Don't have a scale to weigh a chicken, but I can tell she doesn't weigh what she should.

I just went and checked her poos and I don't see any more blood. They also aren't quite as watery as they have been lately.
