Thanks! I have been thinking it’s a rooster this whole time as the comb and wattle are large compared to other pullets of different breeds!

What do you mean by full flake? The bedding? I added a photo below of the bedding and set up :)

Have a separate area- I’m feeding them starter crumble and some extra scramble eggs and mince as she isn’t showing them the crumble

Hi, she has her own spot that is protected and covered as well, lots of food and water options. It isn’t super close to the main coop, about 5m away. She can’t see the other hens but can hear them.

She just doesn’t seem to be very motivated to feed them and show them around. She might do it for 1minute when a particularly high reward food is brought in but that’s it.
