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 put them in at night but I'm unsure if there's not enough or too much ventilation

The on

The only really concerning one is the second pic with the dark webs but the others just look like nicks and scratches. You could add more insulation to their shed, anything to cover the openings, in a pinch empty feed bags are easy to tack up or stuff into openings and my geese seem to fiddle with them less than they do tarps and blankets.
For the one with the discolored feet, you could bring them in for observation for a few days.
