Would like to know what this is and how I treat. She is staying in the coop. I believe she is eating but doesn’t look well

How many roosters do you have? To me that looks like abuse from overmating.
X2 Do you think you could separate her from the flock to let her heal and once she comes back but a hen saddle on her

Doesn't look like Fowl Pox or Fox Pox (which I've never heard of:D)

I agree, it looks like injury from overmating and/or being picked at.

Separate her to a cage within the coop, provide her with her own food/water, but watch that she's not harassed while in the cage.
It wouldn't hurt to give her some poultry vitamins (direct dose) a couple of times a week to help with stress and build her up a bit.

It looks like she may have some abdominal bruising, hard to tell. Does she lay eggs?

Sorry I meant fowl pox. Yes she is laying. Do you think these are injuries from being pecked at? What about her abdomen? I can certainly separate her and try some poultry vitamins.
