Frozen EE beard

[Beaker99]

My EE has a very pronounced beard and I noticed today the feathers are frozen. She's always been a sloppy drinker.
No signs of frostbite. We'll be above freezing tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.
Do I need to thaw it or is she good?

Why not take five minutes and thaw it with a warm blow dryer to be safe?

And take this as a warning. You may need to get creative with food and water during freezing spells to avoid frostbite on more vulnerable tissue.

If you present photos of your feeding and watering systems, perhaps we can help you brain storm some better ideas.

Okay. I guess it's time for nipple water system. I worried more about heat than cold temps, but we get it all.

One of our girls is always sloppy wet in the chin and down her chest. Thankfully, we live in Florida so freezing is not an issue or she'd be a mess.

Thawed her, dried her. Lasted an hour. Lol.

There's no help for those beards. Novel looking, but a pain in the butt.

Yep. Already ordered the nipple waterers.
