I just noticed one of my hens with a toe bent back a lot. No bumbleboot and no marks of injury/infection. The toe almost feels detached? I don't know how long it's been like this. It doesn't seem to hurt her and she doesn't limp.

Wow. That is certainly a bent toe. I have several birds that have bent toes, some from when they were chicks and one that somehow broke her toe. If she can walk and isn't seeming in pain, odds are it's fine
 
I have had a few like that, and as long as there isn't any discoloration suggesting a lack of blood flow to the toe. I'd personally leave it be.
