Does this look like frostbite? Black tissue on toe

Ok I see what you mean sorry about real sorry about the confusion very sorry. The toe nail not the whole toe lol dummy me,lol sorry again. I have seen the toe nail only grow back in chicks not older birds, chickens. I have silver laced Barnevelders roosters, that lost a toe nail and he is not growing the toe nail back, me a greenfire farms are the only ones to have these birds so far. The baby chicks I hatched black orps lost there toe nails from freezing are growing there toe nails back, I was puzzeled when I seen this myself them toe nails growing back, thank God. I thought I was going to put the chick down, my heart couldn't do it, with the frozen feet but the chick can walk fine now and its toe nails are growing back after falling out and I am amazed cause its feet were beyound frozen. I can say toe nails do not grow back in older birds from what I am experiencing but in baby chicks from what I have delt with they are growing back very stubby but they are there.
Thank you very kindly for your input and have a great day and I am very sorry about the confusion on my part. The only thing I have ever seen grow a leg back was a Muskrat when I use to trap, lol.

Lol. mistakes happen.
 
Since we are talking about Frostbite I made a video on how to keep frostbite off a rooster's comb. It has been working for me for many years and a 4-H leader had told me this tip. I use vasoline everyday when its really cold 32 and under every other day 32 and above. I have never had a roosters comb freeze or turn black. I had never tried it on there feet but I am going to try today.
Now is that a good tip??
 
Well...

The black part has just fallen off. That was the toenail plus whatever was behind it.

She now has a "stump" there with a bit of bleeding.

I applied some iodine solution.

Im concerned about dirt and sawdust getting in there before it scabs over. How should you bandage this up? Or should you bandage it at all?

Would polysporn be a better solution than Iodine? Problem with poly is getting her to hold steady, the iodine is in a spray bottle so its easy application.
