It looks like a bad bruise where another hen pecked & bit her comb. This is common when hens are deciding the pecking order (pun intended) of the flock.

Keep a watch on these & over the next few days you should see them diminish.

Ok thanks. Muffin is low in the pecking order, gets pecked by everyone
I'll see if she gets better
