Just the very tips of the roosters comb shows frostbite. We have had some really miserable weather lately. Mine are still laying....4 to 6 eggs per day from 7 hens. All feet are yellow, combS and waddles are red. We use Lightening Tree Farm layer feed and throw LTF scratch 30 minutes before they roost. Some nice oatmeal w tuna and ham one very cold morning before the storm. Oatmeal w bacon fat, feed and green beans the morning after. Not every morning but when the weather is severe. Fermented mash late morning or early afternoon. No heat, plenty of straw, lots of wind blocks.
drinking a lot more water. We have a round water heater w metal sleeve insert waterer. Never will own plastic again. We use an automatic waterer with nipples in the summer.
