RE: How to Prevent (and Treat) Frostbite in Chickens

Yes, that's what I was taught. The testes are just under the backbone, and if the bird gets too cold, they become sterile.

Edit: I used the wrong word. I meant infertile. Gail Damerow who wrote The Chicken Health handbook mentions it 3 times in the book, under frostbite/too cold.
