Poor thing. You would need to re-integrate her. You can try placing her in a crate or fenced in area inside of the run where the others can see her, but can't get to her or peck at her.

Thank you i did think of this as I have a partition I can. Use but I'm scared she might die as she is so nervous she's been in doors now for 3 weeks

She's been through some serious trauma. One of my hens, who escaped an attack that killed all her coop mates, was extremely nervous for some time. In a world where everything wants to prey on chickens, a certain level of awareness and nervousness is essential for survival.

She's already had a rough life. Keep giving her attention, time and a place of sanctuary. And, honestly, why wouldn't she want to return to a house where she feels safe and there's no competition for food and/or care? Good luck. I'm pulling for you and your girl.
