Crushed foot - advice needed

It could have just been a freak fall or something. If you don't see any potential problem areas, I wouldn't worry too much unless it happens to another hen.

What is her response when you touch the toes? Does she flinch and react as if she is in pain? (I'm talking about if you gently squeezed one of the impacted toes).
She doesn’t have any reaction. I was even moving the only toe that still moved (but doesn’t feel like it’s actually connected to anything :/ ) when trying to see if there was a point she’d react, I even tried to carefully move that bent toe thats 90 degrees. But nothing and when I put her down, she just hops off to get food or water or go lay down with her two best friends (the other two chicks I got at the same time as her). I posted a link to a video I took of her when I put her down after taking the pictures. If she hadn’t started hopping, I would have no inkling she’d been damaged

Interesting!

I feel like feet are not something I know a ton about: I wonder if any other members here think that this could have been a vitamin deficiency as opposed to an injury?
 
I don't see a video, do you have a link?

To me, the injury looks to be quite old and the foot is drying up and the toes will eventually fall off (auto amputate).
It looks o.k., so if she were mine, I'd just look at her daily for any signs of pus, oozing, etc. but I think it's probably all past those stages now.

Time will tell how much of the toes/foot will remain, this can take a while.

It was sandwiched in the comments on the first page, sorry lol here’s the video

It seems the consensus is to just leave her be and keep an eye on her unless something changes drastically
