Bielefelder is acting different.

Thanks again, I think it's dried blood too but must have happened a few days ago, maybe when she started sharing a brooder box with her sister.

My rooster is a pain so I will see who I can isolate first. I'm not sure if the hens all adore him, he's semi-aggressive.

I have a pen set up for younger chicks so I may put one in there. I do feel bad but she's always hiding in the coop so it may be more beneficial for her to go outside and be isolated a few hours a day until she heals up.

I appreciate all the advice!
She's likely hiding from the rooster...

You may find all the girls will enjoy a break from him if he's aggressive with them...

I'd go slow and move them both around a bit, see what happens, but for me, I'd make sure the hen has interactions with her flock for a period of time each day. It can be a pain to balance it all out when one is sick or injured.
