Pecking by the other ladies on one who'd been quarantined

[100AcreFarm]

I've got one with an apparent vitamin deficiancy so I've kept her inside for 2 days and 2 nights to give her extra supplementing. I tried to put her back outside this evening and 2 of the other girls had her cornered and were pecking at her back and wings. I tossed in some grapes and scratch at the same time I put her out so they'd all have something to do but they'd rather pick on her.

Is there a good way to reintegrate her with being attacked? Poor thing! My son saw what was happening and brought her back inside (it had been about 15 minutes that she'd been outside). She isn't hurt really, just missing a few wing feathers and scared. I'll keep her in again tonight and then I'm home all day tomorrow and can do whatever I need to to get back out there successfully.

Suggestions?

How many do you have total?

I'd take two hens and put them with her in HER new space for a day or two. Then at night bring all of them back into the coop. Reintroducing more than one makes it more confusing for the hens - they can't just pick on one. Even if just one more buddy, shake up the usual pecking order.

That's what I was wondering. I'll need to move her to a larger condo then!
I have 6 total.
