I have a RIR hen who recently went through moult. Previously, she had been scratched up pretty well by the rooster. Ever since she finished, she has been acting very neurotic. She hides out during the day, although she still goes in the coop to lay & sleep. When she is rousted from her hiding spot, she runs across the yard like somethings after her. When she gets to the other chickens, she stops. Any ideas??
 
Sometimes after a fight or other incident, they act like that. If you haven't already, isolate the rooster, and let her regain some trust in the other chickens, and in her surroundings, reassuring her that she won't be attacked again.
