I recently moved and my dad is currently keeping my chickens as our rental
Doesn't allow them.

The day we moved we noticed a chicken was a mess. No feathers, ect. We separated her to get her to heal. But now everytime we reintroduce her she is attacked again by the same chicken. They free ranged at my house and are now in the run. Dad let them range today and she was attacked again several times.

How do we reintroduce her safely?
 
If you can identify one who is doing the attacking, you can separate that one from the group for a week, out of sight and hearing of the rest, then return it. It will re-enter as a stranger and will be low on the pecking order.

It is possible that the one being attacked has something wrong with it, and the others sense this.
 
We thought perhaps something may be wrong, but all her feathers have come back in fine, she looks good, and laying again. Outward, nothing seems wrong with her.
