Neighborhood Chickens
In the Brooder
She is isolating herself mostly so she is not attacked. She stays in the house when the rest of the chickens are out free ranging. She sleeps in a nest box to protect herself and eats while they are all out of the house. She is happier doing that rather than caged somewhere. She does not try to free range very often which makes me sad for her - she is stuck in the house, but safe. I just thought there might be a suggestion to stop the roo from such behaviour.You have plenty of space, is there a reason you can't give her her own mini enclosure (or him, either way)? Doesn't have to be anything hardcore, some chicken wire would be enough to do the trick.
Photos of your set up may help.
