How old is your hen?
Do you have a rooster?
Is she the alpha dominant hen?
This might be solvable it might not
We don't have a rooster (illegal in New Orleans). We had 3 hens total but now only have the RIR and a Buff Orpington. (A racoon got to our other Buff) We were planning on maybe adding 3-4 more hens in the spring. The RIR is definitely the dominant! However, even though she had a problem with pecking the others when we first got them, she is pretty nice to the Buff now and doesn't peck her.
