Should I put hen back with others?

I would just visit them often throughout the day and spend some time with them. You can spot problems and see how they interact. I would offer some scrambled egg bits and make sure that all get a chance to get some. Watching how they act when going to roost is also a good time to spot bullying.
Thank you, when I throw treats (eggs, veggies etc) they all go for it and don’t bully. The victim goes to the coop real early lately and sleeps on the floor even though the entire coop is empty. They others roost in the enclosed run.
 
Oops. Wrong post maybe?
Yes, sorry. Her behavior could be a sign of getting sick, so just observe her. Some hens just are low in pecking order and easily bullied. If she getting close to molting, that also can make her puny.

Everyone got along during snacks, victim is RIR furthest left and the bully is the red one eating from the dish with her. She still goes to her own corner directly after though, no chasing so far today.
