Recently my hen Has been struggling to eat and drink, the other chickens are mean to her and excluded her from the flock. She huddles up in a corner and just sits there. I’m not sure if its the winter that’s doing it but if anyone knows please help she is also very pale
 
You need to run through a check list of things: lice/mites, worms, respiratory symptoms, coccidia ~ especially if it's been really wet~ check her crop & her breath. That's not an exhaustive list. Most people will want pictures ~ poop especially~ & as much detail as you can provide. That's just not enough information for anyone to hazzard a guess.
 
Try separating her from the flock. Keep her in an indoor area if possible. Give her regular vitamins.
If you don’t mind me asking where are you located?
 
it's not winter, she's ill, and the rest of the flock think it's transmissible so are trying to drive her away for their own protection. Can you separate her for her own safety and theirs?
Ok, will do, she’s in a little box inside the house in a quiet place away from the others she seems to be getting better! Thank you so much this really helped
