Our buff orp roo has some frost bite on his comb and waddles, you can see some of this in this photo. Is there anything we should do? I have checked the tissue and its still warm, just discolored so far. What do we do to help it not get worse, and what if it does, is there something you do to treat severe frostbite, should it happen.....

I had a problem with frostbite and we used vasaline but I feel it is more to prevent than to treat! I would add a red warming light to their coop and secure it very good also the black parts will fall off and leave them with a little smaller comb but they will be fine!
 
I agree with the vaseline. We put an extra heat lamp in the coop when it gets really cold & we put vaseline on everyone's comb & wattles. It really seems to help.
Good Luck.
