I have 2 hens now, one of them is sick. She has poop all over her feathers around her vent and is walking around like she has trouble. she mostly sits all day and her eyes look weary.

Also the other hen has began attacking her. She cut her comb tonight so I moved the healthy one to the other coop so she will leave her alone.

Whats going on with my hens?
 
Your hens are acting completely normal. If your chickens were running around in the wild, that sick chicken would be like ringing a dinner bell for predators. The other birds would drive her off or kill her themselves for the good of the flock.

Welcome to the brutal truth of chickens. Get her well if you can and reintroduce her.

Good luck.
