Chicken loosing toes

[Hailey Bug Hmz]

Hi so I have a lavender Orpington that a few months ago started limping and then just not using that leg and I thought maybe it was bumble foot even though it didn’t look like it so I used iodine but it didn’t help and her leg wasn’t getting worse but also not better. And I felt her leg multiple time and it wasn’t broken. She figured out how to hop around and other wise was fine. But today I noticed she was starting to put weight on the leg again but 2 of her toes are missing her whole toenail is gone and it looks like it scabbed over. Could her toes missing just be from maybe they got caught and got ripped of it could it be something to do with why she wasn’t using her leg. I would have a vet look at it but our vet doesn’t do chickens and we can’t find one close enough that does chickens

Could it be frostbite? Pictures?

Agreed with needing a picture to verify.

One early theory is lost claw in a fight? Particularly a fight involving a fence?
