I’m not a medical guru, but this sorta looks like bumblefoot to me. You might want to use the for bumblefoot.

That looks like an infection of some kind to me, most likely bumblefoot.

If I was treating this, I would start by doing warm water and Epsom salt soaks at least once a day for about 15 or 20 minutes each time.

It appears to be a form of bumblefoot as @Nyhillbillies has pointed out. The injury appears not to be affecting the blood circulation to the toe beyond the injury at this time, which is encouraging. It doesn't appear the chicken will lose the toe.

The cause of bumblefoot is usually staph bacteria. The best way to treat this most stubborn bacteria is by soaking and debriding and then every other day cleansing and keeping the wound covered with antibacterial ointment and a bandage to keep out dirt. This way, you can leave the chicken with the flock.

Soak in warm Epsom salts for twenty minutes, then pull off the dark scab. This is necessary to clean out pus loaded with bacteria. It will not heal unless this is done.

Once the wound is cleaned of all of the waxy pus down to pink flesh and moist serum, apply a healthy dab of ointment and cover with a sterile pad, then use Vetrap elastic bandage to secure it. To make the wrap chicken proof, begin the wrap at the lower end of the shank, wrapping downward to the toe and then wrap back up to where you began. End it at the back of the leg and press the wrap firmly against itself to make a beak proof seal. Careful to wrap securely but not so tight it cuts off blood circulation.

Check the leg frequently for signs of swelling and if you see any, the bandage is too tight. Remove after two days to check the wound. If it looks like pus is forming again, soak and debride again. Repeat the bandaging.
