Broody girl an outcast

[BackyardBradshaw]

My girl, Gummy Bear, finally broke her broodiness, but now the entire flock is shunning her. She's always by herself. If she comes near them, some of the other hens will pluck her feathers out until she runs away again. I read this is somewhat common for a broody hen due to the hormonal change, but does anyone know how long this typically lasts or if there's something I can do to help? I just feel bad for her.

She'll eventually lose her broody demeanor and work her way back into the pecking order. Right now she seems like a 'stranger' to the flock.
