Thy won’t stop pecking her feet.

The frostbite. All parts that were frozen are damaged, those are the pinkish, and dark scabby places. The tissue that is damaged enough will die, turn black, and fall off. If there is still circulation to some of it, it may recover, but I would guess all those spots will eventually die. At the base of those areas the tissue will swell as the foot tries to seal them off to heal. The birds were probably attracted to the redness of the damaged toes, and that is what caused the pecking.

Oh ok. So will her feet ever be normal again? And until her feet are completely healed I can’t put her with the other chickens?

They will heal, but the lost parts will not grow back. Many chickens lose toes to frostbite and live normal lives. If you put her back before they are healed the others are going to peck at them again and do more damage. You will need to slowly reintegrate her once she's healed. By putting her in a wire crate in the run, where she can see them, and they can see her, it will make reintegration much easier. Assuming it's staying above freezing. If not, I would keep her inside until it's warmer. It also may lessen her stress, they can become very stressed if they are alone rather than with the flock.

Oh ok. Well as of right now she’s in a wired cage in the coop where she can see the chickens and they can see her but they can’t do anything to her.
