If there's just one bully it sometimes works to isolate that hen, not the picked-on one. Then when she is re-introduced SHE is the bottom of the pecking order. Bit of humility! However, if they are ganging up that doesn't work.
Big help, aren't I?
She has been relegated to the very bottom of the pecking order Flum............they all have a go at her. The only creatures below her in the pecking order are the garden worms!

GOOD NEWS, GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tush is fighting back!!!
Extra, Extra read all about it!
In a downtown Newcastle allotment a recent broody chook has been picked on so much that she's eventually snapped and pecked back! Witnesses report that a chook named Tush has finally put her foot down and said "NOoooo, chuck chuck bok, I'll take no chucking more"
She was seen to peck back at an astounded cell mate amid hushed murmurs around the coop.
Where will she finish up in the pecking order we wonder?
Tune in to the exciting finale in tomorrows evening edition of Snadgers Coop.............................

You know, it MIGHT help. If the bossiest one gets the isolation treatment
a) there will be one less (and the nastiest at that) attacking Tush and
b) there will then be 2 for the others to pick on so it is shared out a bit.
