17 degrees below zero this morning. Had the heat lamp going which kept the coop at a balmy 1 degree. Looks like the red star has a bit of frostbite on her comb. Not a bad case, just the very tips, maybe 3-4mm. She has a freakishly big comb, so no surprise that it was her. Well, she'll be getting a little Bag Balm on there this afternoon when we bust out the oppressive heat and top out in the teens.
 
two of my legghorns have very big combs and the tips are kinda of whitish is this the beginning of frostbite i am not sure of what to do i brought them in tonight and they are not happy are use to free ranging any suggestions of what to do is this frostbite?
