Bruising or Something Else?

It looks like she was beaten up or has injured herself with the comb damage, and swelling/bruising of her head and ear. I would spend some time with her, get her drinking some sugar or electrolyte water, and eating some mushy watery chicken feed and a bit of scrambled egg. Watch to see if any others are trying to peck her or jump her. She may need to be separated for a day or two in a dog crate with food and water within the coop if she is being attacked.

She's eating and drinking normally and yes I separated her right away when I noticed the injury.

Agreed.
