Hello Tony,
Unfortunately there always has to be a lowest bird in the pecking order just as there is a top bird.  So long as she is getting to food and water she should be OK.   You may need to have several feeding and watering stations available.
Having said that it may also be worth checking for little visitors (internal or external) and whether her poohs look healthy.  Check if she has a temperature (feel under the wing of one of your other birds and then under her wing with the same hand to see if she feels hotter).
Good luck and keep us posted

I keep a lot of poultry and sometimes it happens that there is one that they all hate.

The worst case I've had was a  tiny bantam hen called Fred.  She was picked on and bullied by everyone.

 When she went broody i put her into a little run and house on her own thinking that a time away from the rest would be good and hoped they would all forget .  She hatched 2 chicks and was a really good mum.  When the chicks were about 7 weeks old i took a chance and let them out to free range. She had been separated from the flock for at least 10 weeks and I thought that with chicks at her side her street cred would be better.
Within hours the chicks had been killed and i found her cowering on the barn floor while some of the others pecked at the blood on her face.   I put her back into the broody coup and she died 2days later.

Now i'm not saying that your case is as bad, just that it does happen.  So keep a watch just to make sure things are not getting out of hand

that is just the pecking order however if all these birds were reared together they shouldn't do this unless the bird has been seperated at some point or if the bird is ill however with all species you do also just get some that prefer to be alone and are not popular with others? when buying or rearing birds ensure that they are either added together when young or buy more than 1 when introducing new birds so then it is not picked on this could cuase the bird to avoid others
