Hi everyone

CreamPuff, - one of my buff Orpington pullets - seems to have some frostbite on her comb! It is not very bad...I guess miner, but I'm still worried.
Can someone tell me how to treat it???
Thanks in advance!

There's generally no need for treatment. Messing with damaged tissue can cause further damage and pain. I just leave them be. The tissue may eventually turn black and slough off. Many of my birds are missing comb points, and even a few toe tips here due to our very cold winters.
 
Can you post a pic?

I had a duck that slept outside on the roof last night when it was 18 degrees :rolleyes: the duck doesn't listen whatsoever. She was fine this morning when I checked on her. She will be the last muscovy I ever own :gig
