12) Describe the housing/bedding in use
Medium sized coop for 10 to 12 chickens, straw bedding
 
Looks like it got it's comb caught on something, or another chicken was pecking her. It looks to be healing up okay. I wouldn't do anything unless it starts to bleed or the other chickens start pecking it.
