Orp is distress - new layer

[The Vargas Chics]

My chickens are just beginning to lay and my Orp is having big problems. She has now layed 2 eggs but has bloody feathers by her vent and is acting lethargic. Is it normal for some chickens to have a hard time laying in the beginning? What should I do, I'm new to the chicken world and can not find any info on how to help her. Do I wash her up? Seperate her from the others? Please help, my chickens bring me much pleasure and I hate to see them in distress. Thanks
