I went out to get eggs and noticed one of my Golden Sex-Links comb looked whitish on the top with some black on it. Is this frostbite or something else? Do I need to worry? There are a few others that have it, but she has it the worst.

I don't believe you need to worry. When the ends of the comb or wattles turn black, then that is when the area has been frostbit. The white could be a much less severe case of frostbite or just a dry comb due to the weather or being in an arid enviroment. Either way it is still nothing to be worried about right now.

I agree. Maybe take some bag balm and moisturize it for her. My hens seem to get that once in a while.
