Feather plucking

[Countryman101]

I have this bantam hen that seem that every one is picking on. The bantam her chest is just about bare from the others plucking her feathers out.. I did have her out on her own due to a injury.. But eventually I added her back to the flock slowly. But she is cooped up with another loner because of this problem.. but bantam will even just sit at the side of the cage and just let the the other chickens pluck her. Even though there is plenty of room to get away .. I will get a picture of the bantam... But I am so confused

What is their diet and space measurement?

The sad thing is it's just that one.. the coop it's self is 10'x10' the hight is might be 10 as well they have a lot of room to move and roost on. Diets are Black Soldier Fly Larvae, 16% Layer Crumble, Scratch Grains, fruits and veggies. Then they have toys and swings as well

They also have plenty of room outside during the day

I would stop all the treats and get a higher protein feed just for the general well-being of your flock but it's likely just them getting into a cycle of abuse.
The banty gets into a meek mindset and acts sick, the flock picks up on that and tries to get her away from them and she feels worse wtc.

A higher protein layer, chick feed etc. You want 17/18% protein.
Usually chest plucking is self inflicted.

Ook... I did see other chickens pick the feathers off her chest.. I haven't seen her plucked any off of herself yet
