Is this normal

[Hot shot]

My new next door neighbors went out of town for a few days so I let their chickens in and out for them everyday
I walk by the condenser going to the coup and noticed one of the units was frosted up
About that time the defrost cycle kicked in and cleared it up
Am I wrong to think low freon
This condenser unit was replaced by the previous owners roughly 3 years ago

There is more than that freezing up from where I am from

That means their filter's clogged. Or some other problem. Yikes.

Yup. Know someone that had only clogged filters that iced it up like a brick

That only happens on an A/C only evaporator. Being located in Virginia, I'm going to have to assume that picture shows the outdoor half of a heat pump. It's normal for heat pumps running in heat mode to ice up a little before going into defrost. What I don't get is the weird ice pattern. It should be even, not have gaps like that.

Heat Pump. Normal. Normal as long as it does defrost.

Pattern could be the routing of tubing within the coils.
