I'm posting this for a friend. This hen has 1 eye swollen shut, the other has puss coming out. She says it's comb is turning black with blood. I assumed pecking, but she says this hen is at the top of the order. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just closed the deal on a Silkied Ameraucana rooster, 3 Silkied Ameraucana hens, and a Smooth Ameraucana hen. Goin to make a nice addition to my 3 existing Americaunas. I'm so excited!!!
