Mini-Daisy
In the Brooder
Her behavior is as normal, eating and drinking well talkative as always so her behavior showed no signs of any problem,but the color of her comb is worrying me.
Can anyone help me out ?

Thank you very much !!The dark color very well could be mild frostbite. It could heal on it’s own without treatment, but if it is deep into tissue, the comb tips may become rounded off in the future. It would be good to keep moisture down, yet have good overhead air circulation to allow moisture to escape the coop. Toes and feet can become frostbitten when there are water spills and feet get wet during freezing temperatures. Here is some reading about frostbite:
