Chicken behaving oddly

[Awishardguerra]

I’ve noticed recently that when I let my chickens out one of the hens has been staying in our driveway and not leaving it with the other chickens. She will stay there all day by herself with no other chickens occasionally clucking or making some other chicken noises. She is still eating and she comes out of the coop like all her other sisters but she seems to have separated her self . She’s also all the sudden being very friendly towards me and following me around when I am down there with her . She’s never really acted this way before.. She has also recently been bullied buy a couple of the hens and by our rooster when she refused to mate with him .I was checking on her today and I noticed some odd wounds on her waddle and comb. Any advice on her behavior or the injuries?

The picture is a little hard to make out, but it looks like she was attacked. Any blood?

she doesn't want to be bullied by them. The bully hens can go in the cooler for a day or two so their order in the flock is reduced.
do you have a chicken jail/broody cooler?
Did she molt recently? sick? different? chickens don't like anthing different with a flock mate.
For the most part, the pecking order will take care of itself but you can tweek it by time out in the cooler.

Does she puff her feathers up any?
