Rooster toe tip frostbit?

[GordSord]

My rooster, (Big Caramel) had a swollen toe. I thought it was either from him hurting it jumping off roost in morning, or it got frostbit. Now over 2 weeks later, and toe is still swollen but it hasn't spread to rest of foot. Toe tip seems shrunken and turning black underneath. I soaked it in Epsom salt bath for 15 min other day and cleaned it up. Still looks the same. I'm pretty sure it got frostbit somehow. What I was wondering is if it will fall off on it's own? There's not a vet that will see chickens around where I live, so I'm hoping it won't have to be amputated. If it were to fall off, how long does that take? He's had this for about 3 weeks now. He eats and drinks and runs around fine. He doesn't even seem to notice it. I spray it with vetericyn once a day.

I don't think that's frostbite. All the posts I've seen here of frost bite the foot is black like it's dying. I might be wrong though. How cold was it when it started.

Look up frostbite on chickens' feet. It might help.
Good luck.

It's been 5 - 40F degrees outside these past weeks. Inside their coop is usually 10 -15 degrees warmer than outside. A couple of my chickens (rooster included) got frostbit comb tips. That's why I thought it was maybe frostbite.

The only reason I think it's not frostbite is the pictures I've seen it already black. Oh, sorry, I missed that you said it's back under the foot. Can you send pics of the under side of his foot? I'll try and help if I can. I'm really not sure. Sorry. Let me know How he does.

I don't think its frostbite but it almost looks like something got wrapped around his toe and cut off circulation.
