I am so sorry, :hugsif your sure there isn't any hope for him to recover this to me is the best way to euthanize. I have used it a few times and even though it still wasn't an easy thing to do. For me it was so much better than chopping of their head and I couldn't do that anyway.

Again there are others on here dealing with frost bite with their chickens maybe join one of those threads.

The choice is yours. Believe it or not I’ve see worse. Chickens have a built in defense mechanism to hide injuries and illnesses. By the time the show problems they’ve really got problems. There are treatments you could try. You’d need to fashion him a sling and it would take daily dedication on your end. Again sorry for your situation.
 
We sadly put him down. I think what started as frostbite turned into an infection that I caught too late. I was doing everything I could including giving him daily antibiotic shots. But I think I was fighting a losing battle. I will miss him for sure, he was my boy. I'll never name or get attached to another bird again. I said that before and clyde was definitely the exception. He was special..... thank you for all the responses
