Chicken Has Weirdness Going On

No rooster only 1 other chicken with her run is like 12ft long

Ok I checked them last night while roosting I believe it is my other chicken being mean to her saw her peck her yesterday on her sore spot cannot find any sign of mites so I will have to separate them for a while.

How wide is your run?
Also how much roosting space in the coop?

If your hen that is being picked on has a sore spot, apply a little Blu Kote to help it heal.
Sometimes they do pick at each other - it can be from boredom as well - maybe hang some fruit or veggies in the run for them to work on or give them a pile of leaves to dig through. A little extra protein may be helpful too - especially if the hen that doing the plucking is eating the feathers as well.

Sometimes separation can help, but not always. If she continues to pick at the other one and you have made changes to diet and environment, think about pinless peeper to see if that makes a difference.
 
Thanks for the tips I will give these a try! Getting 3 more chickens tomorrow so hoping it will give them more to do added a line to hang veggies on too :) and put more dirt in their dust bath. Ordered the blu so hoping that will help her heal. Ty!
