Frostbite or breeding defect?

[shaileen]

I agree, that rooster has lost his toes and his comb is rounded off during severe frostbite.

Thank you! He will never have to go through that again, very terrible

Even so, you may be able to breed these chickens and get a nice bunch of chickens.

Would you care to post some pictures of the hens too?

That’s wonderful news! I hope so

You might also want to take a look inside their mouths to see if the mucosa is black.

Okay I will do that, thanks for the advice

Nice hens, hopefully the rooster will be able to fertilize them properly despite the missing toes.

Hey guys we have a new member who has posted but nobody has responded.

Anyway she is wondering since she purchased a svart Hona rooster and 3 hens yesterday, the rooster looks like he has a rose comb but is still completely black, the breeder also said he was denailed as a chick…. But still has his spots … after some research I’m starting to think he either got frost bite at some point or isn’t actually svart Hona, is there any completely black chickens with rose combs, I’ve search everywhere with no luck, the hens all have single combs, also his nails are missing. Here are some pics.

They were helping me because no one was replying to my threads, is there anyway to delete threads I can’t figure it out?

Just leave it or you'll add more to the confusion.

Good luck with your birds. I don't see anything concerning.

Hello again lol we hatched our first svart egg today and it’s got 5 toes on each foot! Is this from inbreeding? I was told the rooster and 3 hens were completely unrelated… but I’m pretty sure they’re only supposed to have 4
