Last call for help or a home

I have a brown Leghorn who I have had a problem with since I introduced some new chickens months ago.. We've tried very hard, and I don't know what else we could do to help her to calm down and integrate with the others. I don't know if there's anything else if anyone has any magic ideas, otherwise, if anyone could help me to figure out what I could do with her? Or if there is anyone that may be able to take her that might know more about chickens and could help her out more than I can or someone who could have just one. I mean, that would be great, because I really don't know what to do with her, and I don't want her to live her entire life in a tiny cage. And the other chickens don't like it either, so I have to figure something else soon.

Did you try the pinless peepers that were suggested?

I had a brown leghorn in my first flock. Worst chicken I ever had. The only one I was tempted to make soup out of. She picked on hens she was jealous of by plucking out their butt feathers.
Caught her once with another hen pinned down and pecking a hole in her neck. I put her in the barn alone for a week. She was tolerable after that.

Yours sounds like she should be soup.

Soup time

Give her a lot more space. Give them all a lot more clutter in the space (things to hide behind, under, and on top of).

My brown leghorns need more space than other breeds. They are smaller but hustle so much that they fill space more than the others.

Yeah I mean I've had her seperate in a small cage for weeks and I don't want her to just sit there like that I feel so bad but she's not better. We've tried to reintroduce her a couple times and she's still being just as bad. And I can't just build a bigger coop right now it's not that simple.

There are chickens that can tolerate much tighter quarters than others can. She is not one of them. If you can't provide the space she needs then it would be kinder to put her out of her misery.
