Is this frostbite??

It looks like dry skin. You can use a moisturing cream or ointment and rub it in. Someone posted on another thread that jojoba is very good at absorbing and not being greasy. A large chaulky white film can sometimes be a fungus called favus, but this doesn't look like it. Frostbite is hard to miss--it may appear on the tips of the comb first looking brown, then turning black and necrotic. It is best prevented by providing ventilation high up in your coop to let out moist air and keeping humidity down in cold temperatures. Below is a picture of frostbite, and below that is a picture of favus:.

Thanks for the reply. It's getting cold here at night in Massachusetts so I was just curious. She probably does just have dry skin - my skin is looking the same way LOL. Here are a couple of my other girls and they didn't look as bad as my EF.
