    This is no cause for concern. They will eventually take on the typical shape. Here is an article for more information on these palms: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/foxtail-palm/foxtail-palm-tree.htm

    Yes, this could be fatal. Be patient. Prune the dead growth after it warms up a bit. There is not much you can do to help it out, but time will tell you if it is still alive.

    These palms will be self cleaning. This is a natural process, and not much of a concern. If they all start falling off, then I would look to a soil infection. The tree appears healthy, though.

    Self cleaning usually occurs after all the nutrients are depleted from old leaves. Not till they are completely brown do they fall.
    That’s why in non self cleaning palms leaves should never be removed till all the nutrients are gone.

    These leaves( fronds) are so green and healthy.

    Maybe an animal ..?

    This will be a "sit back and wait" game now. The only thing I could recommend is spraying a half and half peroxide/water mix on the areas that look bad. This can help keep an infection away long enough for it to recover.

    This is not a good idea, and usually results in the death of the palm. Here is an article that will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/foxtail-palm/foxtail-palm-tree.htm

    When you say manure, do you mean fresh manure or composted manure. If the manure was properly composted, you should be ok. Foxtail Palm like a nitrogen rich fertilizer.
    Raw manure or unfertilized may be to hot and burn roots.
