The damage is irreversible. Just leave them and they will fall off eventually. Don't feel bad, poultry don't have many nerves in their combs and waddles.

Poor things
With a warm (not hot) washcloth, press the combs of the chickens till they thaw. Then move them somewhere warmer or heat there coup

There is nothing you can do except leave like it is or cut them off in the spring
