    How cold is too cold and help identifying gender?

    I live in Upstate NY and we're getting some pretty cold days. Around 20F but with wind it's about 0F-7F, I have 5 Toulouse geese (3 are nearly a year and 2 are about 8 months) and besides a cough (assuming from weather or I hope so), they all seem relatively healthy. They *do* have access to a...

    Possible frostbite?

    I have 5 Toulouse geese and I noticed two of them have black patches on their feet. There's also beak discoloration with cuts but I have absolutely no idea where they get those. It's been in the teens but last night and tonight it's -1F or -2F. They seem to walk fine. They have an enclosure I...

    Rooster with frostbite

    Hi! So my bantam Wyandotte rooster got frostbite over night from getting water on his waddles (he uses a 5 gallon heated water from tractor supply) then freezing.It’s pretty bad (I think… I’ve never had anyone get frostbite before). I think this because they are pretty puffed up. He doesn't mind...

    Is this (mild) frostbite?

    It has been really cold here for the past few days, like -20C overnight. I have done everything I can think of to prevent frostbite. Their enclosed run is wrapped in wind-proofing plastic, I've been adding vaseline to their combs before they go to roost in the evening, and I've had low-level...

    Frostbite

    it has been very cold here in SW Michigan and unfortunately or Roo got frostbite on his comb and wattles. It’s supposed to be in the double digits the rest of the week, so should I just leave him in the coop with his ladies? Or bring him in the garage which is also still cold?

    Hen has a paralyzed/frostbitten leg?!

    My almost 4 year old hen is unable to put weight on one of her legs. To me it looks like her foot is paralyzed from the hock down. Several weeks ago I noticed her limping, and brought her inside as the limp got worse. After 4 days inside a dog crate and no treatment besides forced rest she...

I noticed yesterday that 2 of my 6 four-month-old hens had a tiny bit of black on their comb tips...

    BCM roo with infected wattles

    Hey guys, I posted about my roo a couple weeks ago because I noticed that he had lost quite a bit of weight and had his feathers picked out. I solved the feather picking problem but the weight issue is still present. I think I figured out what the problem is.. he got frostbite on his wattles...

    Frostbite, yes?

    I've been trying to figure out the issue with one of my Polish hens toes for several weeks now and - after first thinking & treating for SLM with little improvement - my reading here (BLESS YOU ALL for sharing your experiences) is making my think this is frostbite... Just hoping to get some...

    HELP - Frostbite on Feet

    Hi, Our 4-year-old Brahma, approximately 3 lbs., appears to have frostbite on both of her feet. We had a thaw and then severe windchill, as we do each year. I'm not certain why this year is different. I noticed her limping about 5 days ago. Her feet are cracked and bleeding. We've done Epsom...

    Frostbite help!

    We have a flock of 15 chickens. We have a great set up for them…. But it was -10 degrees (probably even colder with wind chill) the other night so in preparation I checked their food, water heater & heating pads. All good to go! The next morning I saw they were outside. The wind had closed their...

    Is this frostbite? (Toe)

    Not sure if this is frostbite or what? Combs are all fine and the feet of the others are fine. If it is, what should I do?

    Frostbite wattle 9 year old Rooster dubbing needed ?

    In all the years we’ve had chickens (at least a decade) we’ve never had to deal with frostbite. Our 9 year old favorite rooster has frostbite on his wattle and comb. The comb is minor damage. The wattles were extremely swollen and once we warmed them up why’ve been hot to the touch. He’s been...

    Help! Rooster with frostbite??

    Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some advice for our 8-month old buff orpington rooster. A few weeks ago we noticed that the tips of his comb were turning black. There was no bleeding involved which made us rule out other forms of injury. It seemed to be getting better and returning to a more red...

    Roosters with frostbite in cold climate

    We live in Canada and try our best to keep the coop above freezing but the outside temps got to -30C for a couple nights and now we have two boys with frostbitten wattles. We brought one inside for now because he’s low in the pecking order and at greater risk of getting bullied. The other is...

    Curious to see if anyone with more experience may have some insight into this strange situation. I have a Muscovy duck about five months old who I recently brought inside because his feet were getting really cold and were partially frozen (red and stiff). He was tripping over himself too...
