But she doesn’t like being alone and she scream very loud and she just like to follow themI had a similar issue. If you can, separate the ones that are being mean from the one being picked on. Clean her up and comfort her. Best of luck!
What’s thatDid you do a proper integration when combining them?
Allowing birds to become used to each other through a see, not touch introduction for a few weeks/months before being put in the same space. Just putting stranger birds in a pen is going to result in many, many squabblesWhat’s that
Hmm. That's funny that she wants to be with them. Are there any visible injuries? Chickens peck at the sight of ANY blood, and I'm talking about if there is even a DROP. If there is, wash the wound and cover.But she doesn’t like being alone and she scream very loud and she just like to follow them
Ohh okAllowing birds to become used to each other through a see, not touch introduction for a few weeks/months before being put in the same space. Just putting stranger birds in a pen is going to result in many, many squabbles
There’s no injuries. She likes to follow them around and sometimes they just ignore her but if she like does something the don’t like they will peck her or sometimes chase her.Hmm.

Look up how to discipline a chicken on BYC (haha, I know) Then when ever you see them hurt her, apply your knowledge. Sorry if I'm no help, best of luck!There’s no injuries.
