alright so defiantly seems like molting I should add a protein supplement to help her through?

What are you feeding at this time? Flock raiser or all flock 20% is good for feeding during a molt. Some add a little higher protein gamebird feed to 16% layer feed, but they don’t usually require more than 20%. Cooked egg, sunflower kernels, and tuna are some good protein sources in small amounts. Feeding scratch or corn as treats would dilute your protein in the chicken feed.
