We have a flock of 10 birds, 9 hens and 1 rooster. Currently half are going through a moult, and just recently I've noticed that one of the moulters is being picked on by all the others. She has always been the smallest. I have checked her for any open wounds and has none. Whenever she tries to eat and/or drink the others intimidate her and she runs away. They do not chase after her. She spends most of the day in a nest box or on the roost. The last few days I have separated her late in the afternoon and over night to give her a chance to eat, drink & rest. I put her back in the coop in the morning hoping things will change, but so far, it hasn't. Any suggestions?
 
Provide multiple feed and water stations and monitor to make sure that they are not drawing blood.
Yes, this^^^for sure.
...and how much space do they have in coop and run, in feet by feet?
Dimensions and pics would help immensely here.
