Sounds like your girl is doing the best she can to have a good life with her issue and the bullying. You could try keeping her in a place next to the rest of the flock where she can see them but they can't get to her. That's what I had to do with a RIR girl that had a bum leg and she was very content with her own mini coop and run next to the rest of the flock.

I actually never thought to give her a space of her own! Thank you for the idea. I might be able to make this work. What are your thoughts on her grooming situation?

I'll have to leave that for others, hopefully someone can give you some advice on that.

Best of luck, she's a lovely girl!
