I do think it's frostbite.....You show her foot sitting in snow that was my whole reasoning behind keeping her in a warm spot. I have had chickens recover just fine in a heated coop as long as
it is kept clean and no one is picking on her. The transition from going from the coop to a heated house can be very hard on them this time of year, once you have her inside she'll likely have to stay there until it warms up. Which if you are set
up for it, is probably the ideal set up. But some folks aren't able to keep poultry in the house for a variety of reasons.
You also risk everyone picking on her when you reintroduce her to the flock again once she's been away from them a week or two......
And just for the record, I have had chickens live a long healthy life with very few toes...One of our very first hens had one toe left on one foot and two on the other from a dog attack under the cage they were in...
