Break a pullet from coming in MY house

[MarkJr]

I have one particular Dominant Copper pullet that assumes she’s allowed in the house.

I run up to her.... she squats. Reach down, pick her up and put her outside..... ten minutes later she’s back. Holler and try to scare her out..... she squats. Squirt gun?.... she dodges...then squats when I move.

Short of closing the door (I cool the house with morning air before closing around 10-1030) or keeping her locked up, how do I get through to her the ‘my house’ boundary?

They aren’t even ‘tame’. I cannot pick them up unless off the roost. They aren’t flighty really. They just give me a 3-5’ space unless I have treats. It’s literally this one pullet when she’s IN MY HOUSE!!!?????

Dutch door? Screen door? Baby gate? Big flattened box to partially block the opening?

I had a hen that was in the house for several weeks after bumblefoot surgery. When we put her back out she came back to the house to roost every night. Its was too cute. She would come and peck on the door at bedtime. She loved eating dinner with the cats. My husband would pick her up and bring her to the coop with the rest if the girls. And I have had my free range girls come in to check things out when the door is open. Had a few that would run to the door anytime they saw bags in my hand. Guess they figured I couldnt pick them up if my hands were full lol Can you put up a dog gate?
