Sorry for the overload of pictures but I couldn’t get a good picture of just their while holding them, so you get all pictures that I found their foot to look like something wasn’t right...lol

They look to have fantastic little Duck feet..Frostbite turns black and swelling would be apparent too.
Provide straw outside and they will do good. They need the straw as an insulator when feet are cold..Straw is hollow and traps in body heat.

Would be like us walking on a cold hardwood floor and then walking on a carpet..Straw helps keep them off the frozen ground..

On Friday when I brought them in the garage it was cold outside like -1 then bringing them in to 40*......I thought it might have done something to their feet. I mean, yes frostbite turns black but I didn't know if they it was like the beginning of frostbite.....does this make sense or I'm just rambling?....lol

Not rambling at all..Just a bit overly cautious..
