Need a little help with a hen being targeted by the flock

Just an update. Chick Chick is gaining strength every day, but has not yet regained her place in the flock. I would say that 97% of the flock is indifferent - it's really just 2 birds (that are fairly low in the pecking order) that start up with her. And then my male duck gets involved for some reason. Ugh!
Anyway, for the most part, she hangs out in the coop out of the way of the two that go after her. If it gets bad, she has carved out a hiding spot for herself under the ramp that leads into the coop. She seems happy as a clam under there - and will come out to me if I call her.
I make sure she gets to eat at least 3 times a day and spends time with hens that are tolerant of her. I'm hoping another week or two and all will be back to normal.
Here she is today hanging out in the coop!View attachment 1482743
Cut that band off her leg. It looks swollen.
