URGENT-- frozen feet!

[Wyorp Rock]

They are all good! Going through a rather gross period of their recovery.

I have had some in real life health issues of my own that have left me very tired out, but I will update with photos soon, I promise!

I'm sorry you have not been feeling well
Your babies are all standing! They are looking pretty good!
Thank you for the photo and update.

Well, the time has come to transition them back outside! The toes have almost all come off, and they are doing good. I am also going to be away for a week, and don't really want to trust a house sitter to babysit them in the house-- it would be better if they were outside.
The catch, of course, is HOW to transition them out. I don't have a garage or anything similar. They are either in the house or outside. I took them out a little of Friday for a few hours to get fresh air, but chickened out and brought them back in after an hour.

I'd wrap that run to keep any new snow out
(of course leave top 6" of wall open for ventilation),
after removing as much snow as possible and putting down a lot of fresh shavings.

I agree with aart, wrap it. I used a clear shower curtain to enclose my porch this year and it has worked great. I just stapled it on and it has a pseudo green house effect. Here's what it looks like. Patsy is looking through it on the left.

can I ask how things turned out with your chicken? I also have a polish crested and currently it has 1 frozen foot. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle the situation.
