please help! chickens toe about to fall off!

[Eggcessive]

It looks like she has the one really bad toe, and the tips of most of her toes may fall off as well. Most times with frostbite, the toes will eventually fall off on their own. It can take weeks. Any tips that are black will most likely come off with the toenail. Spray them with betadine or iodine. Once or twice a day. I think she may be fine once she recovers. This can happen if they get their toes wet in the freezing weather. I hope she does okay.

I have a chick like this. Frostbit a toe, it fell off. There's less than a stub there now. Yet she still roosts, runs, and does everything just fine. Give her time to adjust and make sure there's no infection; she'll adapt beautifully.

hey guys i think i will cut it off so what should i cut it with? can she go back outside after? should i wrap it?

I would take her to the vet if I were you. That toe is definitely dead, it needs to come off. What worries me is sometimes even more tissue can die. They're probably going to cut it off, along with some of the live tissue, and then cauterize it.
