My one silkie has been out of the coop for a week and stayed with me in the house taking some outdoor breaks. And even for like an hour away from the flock she always wants to go back so I dont knowhow giving her own space may be for her and the other 2

If you are taking her out for days at a time then putting her back it will most likely make the bullying worse. Chickens are very clannish and will often treat a previous flock mate as an intruder after they've been gone for awhile.

we had her in because she got broody. After we put her in she started doing "big girl" things like sleeping on the roost instead of sleeping on the ground. She has started standing up for herself. I would say she gets more skittish around them. If this specific hen goes near her when she's trying to do something she makes these noises and runs away. I have gotten involved with it. Since we're making the coop bigger on the inside hopefully the bullying calms down a bit.

Here's the inside of the "add on". Sorry its blurry we have plastic over it. Were going to be adding a roof and flooring and then making the coop walls fit the add on and then opening that up into the space. To the left you can see the run.
