She might be frightened by the others.

What can I do to stop this

Hard to know what to do, if you aren't sure of the issue. Do you see other picking on her or do they ignore her? I have a pullet that barely moves around and is generally self isolating. I've been wondering about her. She does seem to make to the roost each night, and back out of the coop in the am.

Any good tricks to determine blindness, besides the normal "running into things, etc?"

Dropping a small stick near her (in her line of sight) she should react before it hits the ground. Tossing a cricket towards her.

She looks worried. are there older hens or an overly agressive rooster?

Hold her in your lap, bring your hand around from the back of her head to the side and see if she reacts....do the same on the other side.
