Separate new chicken

[Malmendier]

I was advised to separate new younger bird that was being pecked on ..I put her in a change next to coop,pen today as she escaped yesterday surprised she lived through the night...
I feel terribly about buying only 1 new bird I didn't know this would happen..would it take long b4 she can join flock...I made a bad mistake

No you didn't make a bad mistake. Maybe a tiny one, but you can fix it. I wrote about how to introduce and integrate a single new chicken to a flock. Follow the instructions and the new bird will be one of the gang in about three weeks. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/introducing-a-single-hen-to-an-existing-flock.71997/

Thank you..I have her in her own cage next to the flock feel bad that I keep her in 24/7 but she's eating well and much calmer
Please can you tell which breed I have..that are very friendly & go back in coop most of the time without me catching them.dont know if little one will come in at night I have many predetors here

They look like production reds, a popular breed with commercial egg producers.
