Easter Egger stopped laying

You could add more places in the run for her to hide or get away. Logs, roosts, chairs, etc.
During molting, I stop with extra treats.

I’ve noticed over the last two days my molting hen hasn’t been leaving the coop to come into the run unless I’m there, I think she’s being bullied (I think she’s low on the pecking order). Any way to stop this? I was considering moving her into a dog crate inside the run with her own food and water until her feathers come back in

They can isolate a bit when molting, usually only for a day or three IME.
It might not 'feel' good...the pin feathers are sensitive.
Have you seen her being picked on?
I would not separate her as putting her back could exacerbate any bullying.
Seeing your coop and run might help spot any issues and solutions.

Maybe crate her for one night to check crop function and poops.

I isolate bird in a wire cage within the coop for a day or two....so I can closely monitor their intake of food and water, crop function(checking at night and in morning before providing more feed), and their poops. Feel their abdomen, from below vent to between legs, for squishy or hard swelling. Check for external parasites or any other abnormalities.

Best to put crate right in coop or run so bird is still 'with' the flock.
I like to use a fold-able wire dog crate (24"L x 18"W x 21"H) with smaller mesh(1x2) on bottom of crate under tray.
Then you can put tray underneath crate to better observe droppings without it being stepped in. If smaller mesh is carefully installed, tray can still be used inside crate.

I’ve got a wire crate almost identical to that. I did notice her being chased around the run by one specific hen yesterday, so I decided to let them all free range for about an hour yesterday and the molting hen would not go anywhere near the rest of the flock. My run is 12’x5’ and 8’ tall and I’ve got 4 hens and a rooster but only one is molting, the other 3 hens are still laying and haven’t lost many feathers if any at all, aside from the rooster who has lost all of his long tail feathers.

How big is your coop?
What happens at roosting time, you can learn a lot by watching the RoostTimeRumble.

The coop is 3’x5’ and 4’ tall. Usually all 4 hens and the rooster roost close together on the 2 roosts in the coop
