Looks like my polish hens toe is falling off despite my best efforts to save it. Any advice? Do I leave it be or cut it off?

*Soak it everyday in Epsom and rubbing alcohol.
*Kept out of the coop in clean crate.

Pictures... And no it's not dirty that's the skin/scales mumified black and brown.

Your picture attachment isn't opening. Can you upload the picture instead?
 
I agree, she's going to lose that, I would also look in between the other 2 toes and see what's going on there , could just be the way the toes are held.
I would give her daily soaks in epsom salts, diluted betadine or chlorhexidine. The part that is dying will eventually dry up and fall off, but it warrants daily monitoring.
I would also try to keep her on clean dry bedding.
