Adult chickens will sometimes attack new birds when they try to eat or drink, if you suspect this could be happening, you can provide multiple feeders. I would also feed crumbles to the big chickens until everyone is eating and then switch to pellets.
 
I don't think that's the case here because I have a big bare spot in my pin and I throw the feed on the ground and they eat it I've noticed that she just walk around pecking at the dirt while the other chickens are eating I don't know what is going on with her

Do you also have a feeder? If she eats well with the younger chickens then I would keep her with them. Does she seem healthy, or is fasting the only problem?

I assure you, my husband is amazing and does most everything wonderfully! LOL He really does more than I do given my health plus he brilliant and a hotty! I don't know how he puts up with me. Get chickens I said.... LOL It is 9pm and he is still outside dealing with them all and hunting horn worms I think!

Sounds like the only answer is to let her live with the 2 month olds!
