I just notice her wattle seems damaged and swollen and some bloody areas near her beak. Do you think it was an mechanical injury or possible frost bite? I notice she was scratching at it.

What does the inside of her beak look like?

To me it looks like Fowl Pox.
I’m not sure. Here’s a pic with her tongue sticking out.
What should I be looking for with fowl pox?
2 other chickens have a small black spot on their wattles also, but it’s just one small black spot like a peck mark.

You'll have to go out, gather her up and open the beak, take a look inside.
If you notice any lesions or material inside the beak, get some photos.
