Should I put hen back with others?

Full blown attack this morning and two others joined in, pinning her to the ground. Bully back in jail and the others leave her alone again. It’s getting out of hand. I’m adding more clutter today for hiding.

I would honestly consider getting rid of the bully, either rehome her or send her to freezer camp, the whole flock will thank you.

Definitely crossed my mind. I just know she’d be dinner And I’m worried the victim might have some illness and die, maybe that’s why she’s being bullied. I’m not sure what to do.

It is hard to see this going on. I would remove the bully away from the rest for awhile, maybe a week if possible. Does the attacked hen have some behavior that is attracting the pecking? Is there any limping?

Nothing that I can see but…just now I picked her up and noticed down below is really hard and in the shape of an egg. Could she be egg bound? She hasn’t laid in a while and when I gently squeezed around she was not comfortable. Anything I can do? Bully will be separated for quite sometime now. I do let her out an hour or so before dark to peck around before roosting.
The bulge is more by her stomach than her vent, just so you know.

Ok read a bunch of posts on how to check for egg. I gloved and lubed up, went in while finger deep but there’s nothing. The lump I feel is underneath where my finger went, I pushed up on her belly at the same time and can feel it through tissue. Hard to explain. Also yellowish liquid with a drop of blood was in my glove. She’s in my shed again
