I went out to the coop this morning and found one of my cinnamon girls hunched down in a corner. She’s not acting right.
I gave her a warm bath, trimmed some of her feathers so I could see what had to work with, it looks like she has been pecked and some feathers pulled out! It seems to be swollen quite a bit.

What would I do? Bring her into someplace warm with food water and bedding. I use a cat carrrier like for the vet. Or a dog crate works too. Clean it up as best you can, spray w some Vetricyn

Make sure she is properly hydrated. Food is not as big a deal as hydration. If you need to syringe water into her every 4 hours or so, do that but be very careful to not get any in her trachea (use a small syringe you can control and watch a few videos about force feeding/watering)

See what you get in a few days. She can't go back w her friends till she has healed anyway.

How old is she, and do you know when she last laid?
I'd do as suggested above, monitor drinking and eating, see what her droppings look like.
Does her abdomen feel bloated or full of fluid, or is the swelling just around the vent?
