Does frostbite affect friskyness?
It supposedly affects fertility but I haven't found that to be the case.

Edit: I have managed to have chickens in -25 weather without my white leghorn hens getting even a touch of frostbite. Their combs were about 3 inches high..... I have good ventilation in my coop, so I don't have much of a problem. Pebbles dunked his wattles in the water bowl right before it got really, really cold! My fault for missing them, or I'd have wiped them off.
I've never had frostbite on hens either after Leghorns, Minorcas, Anconas, Buttercups and Penedesencas. But the roosters get frostbitten below the mid teens.


drip edge and then gutter.

How could frostbite affect fertility? Frostbite usually happens on the other end of the chicken from the fertility maker.

Wonky.
All therms read different numbers. Medical thermometer put in at egg level reads 99.9. Humidity takes longer to register so I'm still waiting on that, but it's somewhere between 50 and 90%.
Lockdown is going to take a bit longer than I expected.
