I'm new and don't know what to do.

[Malmendier]

After losing a chicken to I guess a fox..
I went and got a new bird...
But the other 3 keep pecking at the new one...poor bite is so afarid....than seem to get along.and it starts all over
Do I need to seporate the new bird till it gets bigger? Help please

Put it in a kennel and set it in your coop, give it food and water and the rest of your flock will come to accept it with time.
What they are doing is showing their dominance over the new chicken. How old is the new one and how old are the other 3?

Hello, and welcome to BYC!

is the new chicken much smaller/younger than the others? If so the new one needs to get bigger before you can put her with the new ones.

Welcome to BYC!
We are glad you joined our flock!
Integrating a new bird can take a few weeks sometimes. Hopefully things work out sooner for you. Good luck.
