A depressed hen?

FYI: there are a few active members from France (and Germany) who can help with specific questions for France or the EU. There is a chat and support group for Europeans as wel: Peeps in Europe. @ManueB (forgot the other names at the moment).

Please add your location or country in your profile. It can be very helpful sometimes.
In Europe we have different kind of chicken feed than in the US.

Chick starter and feed for meat birds is good for moulting hens that don't lay. Eating each others feathers and pecking is often stress related. Make sure they have enough room to scratch, and hide from pesting chickens. Make several water and feed stations.
 
Can you get meal worms or soldier fly larva? Here in the USA we can get them freeze dried by the pound. I've also raised my own larva. Mealworms are easy to raise.
Those are good chicken supplements for a molting bird who is low on protein.
 
Don’t separate her!!!!!! It will make her worse. If you make their run larger than add her back see what happens
