Noticed that one of my pullets has what appears to be frostbite on her comb. She has a huge comb for only being 27 weeks old. We dropped below 0 degrees this past week. I had been putting Vaseline on her for the really cold nights. Not sure if she will lose these points or not. This is frostbite right?

Yes I am sure that is some pecking marks. The tips of the comb in picture one is slight frostbite. I would not put vaseline on the comb that is already frostbitten. I use nothing on frostbitten combs, but something like Vetericyn or Betadine is okay to use.
