Wounded Hen - Nasty Looking Skinned Spot

So, now I have a second one starting to get a scratch on her. I've completely cut the hens off from the big rooster until my dad decides to stop being lazy and clip spurs. I wanted to put the one that was starting to get a scratch together with Betty since she is almost completely healed, but the other hens seem to be pecking at her [Betty] and chasing her. Is it because she's been away for so long and they're just reestablishing pecking order, and they'll quit it after a while? Or is Betty doomed to be a recluse from the rest of them? :|

I've been letting Betty out to roam around everyday while the other ones were put up so it's not like they haven't seen her...

yes I think that they are trying to re-establish there pecking order,it is something that they will have to work out.
