Muscovy drake with what looks like frostbite

I went out this morning and 2 of my drakes have signs of frostbite on their caruncle knob. I check them everyday, so very interesting to see that it developed so quickly. I thought we might bypass it this year, but apparently not. The 2 that have it have the biggest caruncles and my 3rd drake has not developed frostbite yet. Here I thought my oldest drake was doing better and tucking his head under his wing. 😆
I hope it doesn't get any worse and that they are doing well otherwise. This cold is just horrendous.

I'm not worried. I just wanted you to know that it happened here as well. They are doing well. Thanks!
Oh, just so you're aware, it can turn black before it falls off. But, it always comes back and it is still just as big when it returns. 😁

Thank you so much! That's very good to know and relieving to hear that it's not something super dangerous to his health. Have a good night and thank you again!
