I doubt that molting is causing the problem. Have you been feeding a balanced ration?
I thought I will check into it tomorrow ill call the ones that make the feed ,but I need to know the amounts of every thing they need at a growing age that I don't know.

How old is the "chick" and what have you been feeding (do you know the feed name)?

Do you have any B complex? Riboflavin is recommended, does your poultry drench contain it?. Are you in the US?

I'm looking into it its made at a local feed elevator .just called grower my chicks are lare summer and I'm in Indiana .US
 
Most grower feeds would be adequate and balanced. But I would get human vitamin B or super B complex tablets. Give 1/4 to 1/2 tablet crushed in food/water or whole to the chicken daily for a couple of weeks. Could she have been hurt or showing signs of Mareks? Are the others all fine?
