Hen Isolating Herself?

The rest of the flock are all foraging on one side of the yard and she is on the other by herself sitting under some brush.

Thank you for your response. I sure appreciate it.

Is she less active than the others?
Do they ever pick on her?

I’ll watch her more closely tomorrow and see if she’s less active. So far I haven’t seen Peony getting picked on during the day. Tonight I kept an eye on them when they were settling in to roost. One of the hens pecked at Peony when she tried to jump on the roost next to her. She was going to roost on the lower bar, but I thought that would be a mistake for her, so I moved her to the higher bar next to the other Buff Brahma. Everyone seemed happy with that.
