The run is approx 40 sq ft for four hens with multiple branches, feeders spread out and even a swing.Try putting some Blu Kote on her back perhaps.
Also are your chickens usually in the run, or usually free ranging the yard? If they're usually in the run, realistically assess your run - does it have stuff for them to interact with? Things to dig through, to climb, to hide behind? Bored chickens cause problems, busy chickens don't have time to do that.
Once the baby is out of the dog cage in the run there will be a lot more room. I let them free range a bit tonight and had no problemIt's a very pretty set up but sounds like minimum space isn't agreeing with these girls. Having room to add more clutter to provide more hiding spaces would be ideal but it's going to be hard to find things that will fit and work effectively in that space (think out of sight, out of mind) but not eat up too much floor space at the same time.
Here is a photo of their run and coop in my shed.
