Can someone please help me identify what this is. It’s soft not dry and crispy.
It got very cold last weekend and temps dropped to -20 but I brought the chickens/roosters in the house for the entire weekend to keep them warm. Put them outside when temps got over 30 degrees. Is this frostbite? Is this a fungal issue?
I have hen healer but I’ll go purchase what I need to in order to help him.
Any advice would be great!
I couldn’t find anything that looked like this on google!

There are a couple of peck wounds, but I do think the fleshy part if probably some frostbite, along with a few of the comb tips. Usually, I recommend leaving it alone, no rubbing or massage, which could damage the tissue, and it will heal on it’s own in a few weeks. Do not put any creams or vaseline on it as they can also freeze.
