I also don't think the hens are pecking his comb just his feathers.It won't grow back. But like said, you'll still love him.. I still say Vaseline will keep the others from pecking, and keep it from freezing more, which it could. I used to do it often. I live in cold weather during winter.
To me it suggests that the bleeding is from it being pecked on. When other chickens see a different coloring in a place, they will naturally peck at it. I still say, try the Vaseline. Actually, at this point, where it's bleeding, an antibiotic wouldn't hurt. It's an open wound. Something as simple as Neosporin will be fine.
I have blue kote cream and a spray for frostbite but I dont like spraying near his face. Or vaseline too.To me it suggests that the bleeding is from it being pecked on.

The bottom of the frostbite is like pinkish and than faded into a greenish and than the black. Is that normal?
