Droopy wing and insane heat

Her wing is still drooping down, but she is seeming more lively than she was. She’s definitely molting and roosting a lot on roosts we have in the run, but I’m still seeing her eat and drink.
The other hens are taking advantage of her being tired from the molting and I think that’s how her wing got messed up in the first place.
Do you think that left alone her wing will heal like normal? Or would it remain droopy and out of place if left unwrapped?
She can still jump up anywhere she needs to, but it looks just like dead weight anytime she does.
If she's molting, see that she is drinking well and eating her normal feed. You can give her a little extra protein a few times a week (egg, fish, meat). You can also give her a direct dose of Poultry Cell twice a week at a rate of 1cc per 3lb of weight.

It's hard to know if wrapping will help. Handling a molting bird can be painful for them, it may be better to monitor for now if she's managing to get around o.k.
