Should I separate the bully?

Do you put the cage inside the coop and run so she is still with the other hens, or do you take the cage to a place completely away from the other hens? I'm having a bullying problem with 1 hen as well.

I put the cage inside the coop so they could all see each other-- and all the other hens could see that Goldie was in time out. The first day she paced and tried to fight through the cage. (few takers) The next day she pretty much pouted but was quiet. The third morning she looked like Miss Congeniality when other hens were close to her cage, so I let her out and everything was good. If she'd been mean, I'd have stuck her back in the cage, and I think she knew it!
