What does this look like?

I found her like this when I was collecting eggs.

Dried poop? Lice infestation?

I’m not really sure. It looks like an injury that’s scabbed over but it’s night time here so I’m scared to touch it as I don’t have access to supplies or a vet until morning.

Yeah, kinda hard to tell by pic. I would leave it until morning, unless you can tell it is an open injury, when you can get a good look at it.

If you wanted, you could separate overnight and well.

I’ll gather her up early morning and take to vet. I don’t want to stress her out by keeping her in my bedroom overnight. It looks to be dried so maybe it’s ok until morning.

Since it's mostly healed, & scabbed up, all is necessary right now is keep it moist, and enough dry time in between.

Update: I brought her to the vet this morning and they gave her a bug prevention injection just in case and cream to rub on the wound. She will be hanging out on my balcony in the chicken hospital for two weeks.
